i have a form where I ask a number of questions
The answer for each question is a drop down menu ...
The person chooses one or many from the answer ....

e.g I would like a wrist band for Trip A (cost £6) {WristA}
I would like a wrist band for Trip B (cost £8) {WristB}
I would like wrist band for Trip C (cost £4) {WristC}

etc etc ....
I would like to grab thes responses from the form
and write SQL script to perform the total cost of wristbands...

Any ideas on how I can do this in SQL - the 'tokens' are available in SQL (i.e. {WristA} , {WristB}, {WristC})

In which Table you are saving the records of the cost to the corresponding item,
if you can post that then some one over here can help you to write down your query

I am saving it in a table called 'TripTable'
I would like to grab the responses (selected on the form)
and total up th cost and put it in a column 'TotalCost'
and each response put it in column 'WristA' 'WristB' and 'WristC'....

Something like

select		sum(mpt.price) as totalprice
from		mypricetable mpt
inner join	dbo.fnAnySplitStringFunction('wrist a;wrist b;wrist c', ';') sf on sf.part = mpt.wrist

select		sum(mpt.price) as totalprice	-- This is the summation of all responses in form
from		mypricetable mpt		-- this is the table where you have the price information
inner join	dbo.fnAnySplitStringFunction('wrist a;wrist b;wrist c', ';') sf on sf.part = mpt.wrist	-- This the responses from the form concatenated as one string with ";" as delimiter
