OK here is a 2 parter. First i created a form with an ASP backend that worked fine ( thanx to youse guys) Now I have added a checkbox- for a newsletter signup on the form. Now the entire form doesn’t add the info to the database. I think it may be because I don’t know how to assign a variable value to the checkbox that can be handled by the ASP page. So…how do you do this? When I select the checkbox, I don’t see a way to give it a variable value. I can’t seem to find the info on how to do it through AS.

Next- I have looked and can’t find a way to set tab indexing for my form fields–I am probably gonna hate myself when I see the simple answer, but for right now…“HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!”
