It has to do with the way the page calls itself I think... though it isn't very clear to me. If I include the connect code for the db in the else block it connects fine, and the simple select I have in the code sample works. But I don't wanna have the db connect code in there if possible...I want the connect code in one file only, and included on the header for the page...oh well :) If I figure out what is happening I will post it to this list.
