You've made the call to `end_table` and `end_html` but forgotten to `print` them! I'm pretty sure it's as simple as that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

you have a spell error in line 25 as the error says: $dbh->diconnect; should be $dbh->disconnect; I guess? Have a nice day All decision is left to your taste Update: Due to the occured error your script doesn't finish, so thats the reason that CGI.pm is being blocked from ending the task in writing the closing tags to STDOUT. A dead chicken might keep running, an ended script not. ;-) Update_2: And of course the theguvnor is correct as you had a warning and the script completes. I just didn't read further than teh cause of your error warning. :-)	[reply]

You've forgotten to print the closing tag functions: `print $q->end_table, $q->end_html;` [download] It would be good to either check for errors on DBI methods, or else set the DBI attr `{RAISE_ERROR => 1}` when you connect. After Compline, Zaxo	[reply] [d/l] [select]
