Populating a form with checkboxes from a database column with multiple values in ASP

I have a MSSQL Database with the following tables

[dbo].[tbl_clients](
      [IDTag] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [membershipnumber] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [username] [nvarchar](255) NULL,

      [ZipcodeHome] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [Countrycode] [nvarchar](255) NULL,

      [preferredaddress] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [mediacode] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [language] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [joindate] [datetime] NULL,
      [Industrytype] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [jobdesignationdetails] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [tier] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [ffpmail] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [enrollmethod] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [passportnumber] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [countryiatacode] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [nationalitycode] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [passporttype] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [issuedate] [datetime] NULL,
      [expirydate] [datetime] NULL,
      [placeofbirth] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [placeofissue] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [nationalid] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [passwordquestion] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [memberstatus] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
      [autoid] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
      [changepassword] [bit] NULL,
      [lastloginIP] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
      [datecreated] [datetime] NULL,
      [welcome_email_date] [datetime] NULL,
      [welcome_email] [bit] NULL,
      [specialinterests] [nvarchar](20) NULL


Also a special Interest table

[dbo].[tbl_clients_specialinterests](
      [autoid] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
      [specialinterest] [nvarchar](50) NULL


I have a form in the back end that should display ALL the sepcial interests for a particular client.

First I get all the values and populate variables, but how do I iterate through the part of the form containing the special interests.

See Form Below

Thanks A lot, I thought it all through and did as you said and wrote code that deleted all the current data and then added the new data when an update for the client was being done.!
