    <p>I'm creating a weekly HTML email writing template (hence the weird file name) and I'm using ASP and XML as the backend.

    1. COPlease do not post your *entire* code and leave people with figuring out what you want to do. You're not even asking an actual question here, as far as I can see. More description, less code.

    2. COSorry I'll expand on it. Basically My ASP code just loops through all the submitted form elements and then creates an XML file from them. I've tried to add a way to check if the checkbox in the HTML is checked by adding a Request.QueryString("promotioncheck") If statement but it doesn't pick up the changes. How should I change this so it does?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
