The increment works when done directly into the session register but when done on the page, it does not get applied. I am incrementing both ways in succession and reloading. These are the results I get on each reload. Register Page 1 1-2 2 2-3 3 3-4 4 4-5 or similar. Any changes done outside the register just do not get recorded into the register. They must be done in the register itself. Many thanks again Jason. That was a good one. I am off and looking for the next problem now. Floyd --
