Justin, I'm using 4.3. V4.1 was my first ever exposure to PHP.
The example I provided used a field I knew had to be popluated (because of where it came from, but for others I do some isset() validation. The scenario I'm working with is university reading lists. A university has several reading lists for which they want to purchase online materials. When they run a course more than once (material is generally licensed on a course-by-course basis, lasting for 1 year), I want to be able to generate a fresh list, based on the old one but modifiable. Its working quite nicely, but I need to get it finished before Tuesday, including re-writing the code (and databases) to MS Access, rather than my development version using MySQL.
