Sheridan,
I added the error stuff (adding an else bit) but when I went to my browser,
I got the same resulting error I've always had.
I have tried pasting the select statement striaght into MySQL_Front and I
get my nice neat list. So it doen't look like a SQL problem.
Head banging off wall right now.
George
