Whats wrong with this? $MaxID="select Max($Table.'ID') from $Table";

I assume you want to do: $MaxID="select Max($TableID) from $Table"; as long as you don't have a variable called $TableID that is. if you do then do: $MaxID="select Max(".$Table."ID) from $Table"; the . operator for concat only works when you're not in a stting variable. for example: $var = "Hello ".$user; you could also just do: $var = "Hello $user"; PHP is smart enough to notice variables in strings. but periods in strings are just periods. -aaron
