[snip] ....Here's my dilemma: If they do fill in any fields associated with member_detail, I have to first see whether or not there's an entry in the member_detail table already for that user (based on member id number). If not, I then have to check ALL the form fields associated with this table to see if any data was actually entered so I know whether or not to create a new record for the member in member_detail. If there is already an entry for that member in member_detail, then I can just do a standard UPDATE.... [/snip] Monty, You can do this in an if statement; if(this set of variables is there){ insert to database } elseif(member exists){ update the database } HTH! Jay
