Can someone help please... I need a script that can do the following. Does anyone have one that can do this? 1) on the 'click' of a button to collect a 10 digit number from a database file (maybe csv?) deliver it to the viewer's screen, at the same time deleting it from the database (basically this is a 'pin number') 2) either the script could generate a 10 digit number from a start number of say i.e '1020030045' or the numbers could already be listed in a file on the server where they are drawn from. 3) for security reasons the number on the database file would need to be 'flagged' (if that's the correct description) so it cannot be used again or deleted automatically. Verry grateful for any help/direction Thanks JimC
