In the form: ------------------------------------------ <FORM ...> # All your fields <INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Action VALUE=One> <INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Action VALUE=Two> </FORM> ------------------------------------------ In the ACTION= program executed by the form ------------------------------------------ if( 'One' == $Action ) { # Do 'One' Thing } elseif( 'Two' == $Action ) { # Do 'Two' Thing } ------------------------------------------ Note that NAME=Action : Variable=$Action VALUE=One|Two : Value you look for = One|Two There is no limit to the number of actions available. You could also use SWITCH statement instead of IF/ELSEIF. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists www.developersdesk.com
