Thought I was on track, but stumped again... I am now getting a completely different error that I cannot figure out how it is related. I have passed the $td variable into the function and then get it back as a POST variable from a hidden field within the function. Here is the error I am now seeing; Unknown column 'sn4265' in 'field list' This one is really throwing me at the moment as the only place the value sn4265 is stored is in the $sbcuid variable. This $sbcuid variable is not a part of the INSERT that I am performing which I think is generating this error. I am guessing that you guys will need more info to help out with this now. Just let me know what you want. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: CPT John W.
