Hiya Gerry, Is this db a relational database (like MySQL) ?? If so, have you heard of the DBI module? Using it, you can query the db and return the info in an array. Then, using a while loop, your script can "determine" how many <TD>'s in the table to have. Like most of the other modules in Perl, the DBI module is quite well documented.
Hope this helps. Try posting a snippet of what you've got and the rest of us can probably provide more specific help. ###################################### --- Gerry Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been tormented by a very small problem.
