checkboxes and other form inserts into a database

Hello experts,

I need a hand. On my asp submit page I have the following code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. for i = 1 to 5 ' 5 question form'
  3.  
  4. Question = Request.Form("Q" & i)
  5. Answer = Request.Form("A" & i)
  6. Comment  = Request.Form("C" & i )
  7.  
  8. ValComment = Replace(Comment, "'", "''")
  9. ValAnswer = Replace(Answer, "'", "''")
  10.  
  11. checkbox = Request.Form("check")
  12. checkbox = Split(checkbox,", ")
  13. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  14. Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
  15. oConn.Open "removed for security reasons"
  16. set sSQL = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
  17. set sSQL1 = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
  18. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  19. IF........somthing here in the checkbox = STRUGGLING HERE please help
  20. sSQL = "INSERT into Table (ID, Question, Answer, Comments, TimeStamp,
  21. UserID)"
  22. sSQL = sSQL &  "VALUES (Test_seq.nextval, '" & Question &"', '" &
  23. checkbox &"', '" & ValComment &"', sysdate, '"& User & "')"
  24.  
  25. Else
  26. sSQL1 = "INSERT into table (ID, Question, Answer, Comments, TimeStamp,
  27. UserID)"
  28. sSQL1 = sSQL1 &  "VALUES (Test_seq.nextval, '" & Question &"', '" &
  29. ValAnswer &"', '" & ValComment &"', sysdate, '"& User & "')"
  30. response.write ssql1 & "<BR>"
  31. End IF
  32. Next
  33. response.end
  34.  
Note: just the bulk of the code has been added so that you get an idea
of what it is that I am talking about.

On my html form I have a combination of dropdownlists and combo
boxes. The checkboxes all have the same name. It is basically 1
question checkbox with the ability to choose 5 answers. I have a
total of 5 questions(1 checkbox question and 3 drop downs and 1
textbox. What I am struggling with is how do I get the answers from
the checkboxes into the database as well as the other form elements.
If it is much easier to not parse the comma separated list then so be
it:) Thanks everyone.
