inexplicable behaviour

Frankly, I don't know what to look for or why something so weird would happen: I have pagination set up and the number for pages "next" has a link but the "next" does not. I have experimented with all sorts of configurations of the code but the only thing that works (and this is totally "off the wall") is to do this $Count = mysql_num_rows($results); $Count1=$Count++; // without this, the "next" does not do the link--- but there is no other $Count1 in the code either in the original page or the include page. And this phenomenon was apparent in a similar page. I'd be curious to understand how this could happen. I could post the whole code, but that would be some 300 lines... -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
