I see what you mean, and that would be fine if I had required fields for some and not others. I do have validation in there for some, however, it's the non-required checkboxes that are giving me the most fits. I'm a rusty perl novice, so please bare with me. Is there a way I can test the key for a null and just print a tab (\t) somewhere in the foreach, if so, do you have a suggestion?
