Anyone have any suggestions on how I could limit the number of games picked? Rather than selecting everygame I'd like to allow the user to select any 5 games. I suppose I'd need to track the number selected as each is selected and then when the total is reached display your 5 selections have been made and show then. I would then allow the user to accept or redo them.

I call a javascript function to do this. Each time a radio button is clicked this piece of code is called. If the limit is reached you get the popup message.

Modify the WeeklyEntry.asp file...
Declare a local variable to keep count
dim mylimit 
mylimit = 5

Place this piece of code inside each input you want to keep tabs on. e.g. each radio button
onclick="countChoices(this,this.form,<% =mylimit %>);"

Place this piece of code somewhere accessible. ie at the bottom of the page of code or in custom.asp You may have to play with the line that reads type=="checkbox" to get it to count radio buttons as i use it to count checkboxes.
<script language=javascript type="text/javascript">

function countChoices(oo,ff,imax)
   { //start function

   var oElement = ff.elements, jj = 0;
   for(var icounter=0; icounter<oElement.length; icounter++)
   {  //start first for loop
  if(oElement[icounter].type=="checkbox")
  {
     if(oElement[icounter].checked)
         {
         jj++;
        }
      }//end first for loop
   } // end for loop
   if(jj > imax)
     {
     alert("Sorry. The Joker limit for this week is "+imax+".");
        oo.checked = false;
        return false;
  }
  } //end function
</script>

 Good luck!
