Your action attribute looks okay but the url which the browser is getting isn't the url in the action for the form (C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\northwest_steelheader\rivers\northwest_rivers.htm) your browser should be getting "update_river_measurements.php". Make sure all of the files are in the same directory/folder or at least make sure the appropriate navigation is added to the url (e.g. ../update_river_measurements.php). Or maybe, put everything in the same directory and try it that way as a means of narrowing down where the problem is. -- Regards, David GetAnyIdeas Web Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] P. 416.452.9410 F. 416.570.4529 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
