IMHO, it's generally not too useful to display multiple records of data in one form as it: 1) Makes the form larger and harder to use 2) Usually does not make any sense from a Data-Structure perspective. Multiple records should generally be handled independently from each other. That being said, there is "support" for virtual fields. Check out this page to see what I mean. Don't hesitate to ask if you need more help. http://opensource.21st.de/tiki-index.php?page=Beyond+Advanced -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
