Repeated Region Insert

Ok, for the past two days, I've looked at every tutorial/post I could
find regarding this, and to be honest I'm losing my mind.

What I have is a form, with a repeated region in it, in this repeated
region, are text boxes populated from a recordset (and some are
populated from url variables). What I cant for the life of me figure
out is how to get it to insert all the records using a loop. I've tried
so many different ways, and am now coming to you all for help.

Below is the 'vanilla' code from DMX, could someone give me a hand with
how the looping works, thanks in advance..

Hi there !

There are many questions below that one...I'll try to give you some
clue to begin.

Dim key

'* loop through all form received data
For Each key In Request.Form

If( KeyContainsSomePattern(key))Then

'* do something with the value
Dim value
value = Request.Form(key)

End If

Next
