Gone for a weekend and we have to retrain, at least I'm not the only one... ;) POSTed variables are ALWAYS posted back, changed or not. More then likely you are forgetting a piece of code, but since you didn't post the offending code, I can't point out where you forgot the $ or to restate a variable. :-P Have you tried echoing the mysql query to verify it is correct? Have you checked the logs? Wolf
