Thanks for all your help! I knew there was a shorter way to write this, there must be a dozen ways to do it but as for right now I'll continue writing the script til all the features are done before I attempt to rewrite it for it to become shorter. I like your codes only have to be defined once and then they work instead of the three times it takes me, but one problem I see is not all the form fields will be text popup_menus as well and with your setup I'd have to use tokens and go back to using the original method, right?

Yeah, my code is ugly right now so I better run off to cpan and read up on CGI tables, lol. Thanks again!
