Thanks a lot! Helps clear some things up..

I still don't completely understand what's going on in the sub though..

I see that the hash %admiss and the variable "1" are being passed but I don't get how "$admiss_ref->$index{name}" ends up being "$admiss_1_name"

Sorry if this is pushing it, but I just want to understand how this works in hope that I'll know how to incorporate more parameters to pass and be able to assign "$admiss_1_name", "$admiss_1_date", "$admiss_1_service" and so on to their appropriate text fields. (This process is being repeated for 27 others ex. $admiss_4_name, $admiss_4_date, $admiss_4_service..)

Thanks again!!
