Re: list($bar['CompanyCode'], $CompanyDB) = mysql_fetch_row($sth) fails.

If your DB indexes are listed as CompanyCode and CompanyDB, then use: $result = mysql_fetch_array($sth); Then you have your variable names like you want: $result['CompanyCode'] and $result['CompanyDB'] -- --Matthew Sims --<http://killermookie.org>
