When you run a SELECT from the command line, do you only see "St." in the column? What kind of column is it? Are you sure it's not fine in the database and you're just showing it like: <input type=text value=$value name=field> which will end up like <input type=text value=St. Petersburg, FL name=field> and will only show "St." in the text box... ---John W.
