Hello,

There are 2 issues involving searching one table called 'types'.
Fix #1: Display the word "All" when someone selects all types.
I need help building a sql query to a table called 'types' based on a checkbox selection on a search form. The 'types' table contains 2 columns (TypeId with int of 4 and TypeName) there are 4 rows (Casualty, Health, Life, Pension). The search form is at http://www.actuary.org/ce_calendar/buildSearch.asp. The Practice Area is where the 'types' are chosen. What I need to display is if someone chooses "All", the resulting display will be "All", not Casualty, Health, Life, Pension.

Fix #2: When someone chooses two or three types, display the results to include items where the chosen two or three types occur in one row, not just each individual occurrance in a single item. To see what I mean, test the search form via the url above by choosing two or three of the types and you'll see the issue.

The code for the current 'types' search is...

Sub buildPracticeArea()
'######### Get Data ################
getRecordSet "select typeId, typeName From Types order by typeName"

'######### iterate through data set write each type #############
do while not rs.eof
%>
    <input type="checkbox" name="typeName" onclick="clearAll();" value="'<%=rs("typeName")%>'"> <%=rs("typeName")%>
<%
rs.moveNext
loop
'######### iteration complete ###############
rs.close
End Sub

The results page, has this to call it for display...
<%= rs("typeName")%>

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
