Just scanning through the script visually should let you spot the obvious errors, and then breaking the script down into chunks with echo statements is the next step. You don't need to break it down line by line, that takes ages! Instead, put one halfway through your code, that will let you know if the error is in the top or bottom half, then just keep breaking it down half at a time and soon you'll have the part the error is in. It's just a typical trial-and-error algorithm. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
