Thanks for the response, but I'm still having the same problem. I can write the file fine, but all it contains is one '=' sign and that's it. I have tried checking off some of the boxes ( saving the state *should* be storing my selections shouldn't it? ) but I'm not getting any actual data saved.

Any ideas in that direction?

Unless I am misunderstanding how the saving of the state works, I can't see a need to process the data if you can save it. Also, does the save happen after the submit button is pushed?

Thanks!

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
