Thanks all of you. I have made the suggested changes. I will need to look at them more in depth.

I have a similar question for those of you with patience. I am trying to remove an item from an array using the delete function. Here is the code:
@statusoption = ('Waiting Approval' , 'Denied' , 'Approved' , 'Ordered
+' , 'Building' , 'Built' , 'Shipped');

delete $statusoption[3];

[download]
This simply yields ('Waiting Approval' , 'Denied' , 'Approved' , '' , 'Building' , 'Built' , 'Shipped')
I would like to remove 'Ordered' from the array and shift all the other elements down an index truncating the array by 1.

I appreciate you help,
