Thanks for that Vetrivel, i have added the checked="checked" in the code below after type="checkbox", this has worked but i am unsure as what to do with the rest of the code on the same line, do you have any sugestions.

Cheers Tony

<td><input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="subscription[{$listid}]" {if $subscription[$listid] ne ""}checked="checked"{/if} /></td>
<td>{$newslists[idx].name}</td>
