Re: Printing multiple invoices from a JSP.

["Jake M" <jakeroc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I am already venturing on the path that you
suggested. This assures me that I am not venturing on a 'never taken road'.

in my first .jsp file, I am doing this..

<input type='checkbox' name ='invoices' value = '"+invoicenumber+"'>

and in my other .jsp file, I am doing this..

String[] invoices;

invoices = request.getParameterValues("invoices");

Hopefully this will work out otherwise there is the weekend ahead of me and
I can start from scratch...:-0).

Thanks again,

Jake.
