Maybe we all learned something from > this. If you want to use a column name like id-sys, which you shouldn't, though, as you've learned, you can enclose it in backticks, like `id-sys`. Note that those are not single quotes, they are backticks, to the left of the number 1 key. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
