Wow, I finally have something to contribute. :><br><br> If you, like me, have been seeking a way to name and fill your variables with the appropriate names an values, rather than naming every variable and using odbc_result($result, 1), odbc_result($result, 2), etc...Then this little loop is for you! It would probably be nice to use as function, but I'm sure you can do that on your own, eh?<br><br> <? $query = "SELECT * FROM TableName"; $result = odbc_exec($conn, $query) or die('Select failed!'); $i = 0; $fCount = odbc_num_fields($result); while (odbc_fetch_row($result)) {   while ($i < $fCount)   {     $i++;     $fName = odbc_field_name($result, $i);     $job[$fName] = odbc_result($result, $i);   }   $i=0; } ?> This should be pretty simple code to follow, you can address your variables at any time later using the column names from your table. For now I am addressing them with their real values and using this simply to avoid having to type out all the variable names in the top of my code. Have fun. Jason/ArtHacker.com
