idea needed: displaying insurance names
I need an idea on how to do this. I have a list of insurance companies. For example, 1200 for Florida. I need to display these to the user and have them select as many as they want.
I'm thinking about have this:
1. A dropdownlist displaying states
2. Buttons or hyperlinks to display A thur Z alphabet.
3. A listview to let the user choose what they want from each Alphabet group
4. User selects insurances in each group (for example, 10 insurances that start with A)
5. I save in the database.
Is this a good idea to do? What if the user selects 100 insurances...how do I save 100 items that are selected from the listview to the database ...100 hits? that's no good.

it's a doctor's office but yes, would a doctor's office accept 100 different insurances...i doubt it.
