HTML won't even submit the VALUE attribute to the next page. You will only have an array containing 0's and 1's, the results of the checkboxes. So, on the next page, you will have to lookup the values again. Then print the hidden input's to the page in a for loop, while looping trough $d_c_arr. HTH Erwin
