Okay, I partially figured it out! YAY! I only needed to have one form object. *<form name="inputForm" action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">* Instead of putting an action in the form, leave it blank....and then specify the forms action based on which button is clicked. *<input type="submit" name="retrieve" value="Retrieve" onclick=" this.form.action='CSPayment3.php';" />* And this will $_POST all your entered values as it should. Now all I have to figure out is how to have: *<a href="javascript:checkForm()" title="Save">Save</a>* Run through all my form checks and then $_POST to my save.php page.

I thought they were comments but now that you have explained that it was a nested for, it make a little more sense. You cannot nest forms. if you want to have the for submitted to a different location, then you have to use one form, with function that modify the action value and change it to the correct url and then submit the form. Try this: <form action="original.php" method="get" onsubmit="return false;" > <input type="submit" onclick=" alert("Original:"+this.form.action); this.form.action = 'new.php'; alert("New:"+this.form.action); " /> </form> -- Enjoy, Jim Lucas Different eyes see different things. Different hearts beat on different strings. But there are times for you and me when all such things agree. - Rush
