Thanks all!

After adding the PrintErrors => 1 I now have an error message to go off of.

Can't set DBI::db=HASH(0x1ba5f4c)->{PrintErrors}: unrecognised attribute name or invalid value at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBD/mysqlPP.pm line 306

I suspect the issue is that I am using this to test to see if a value is already in a db. I am expecting empty returns and when I get an empty return I get this behavior. When I insert a test value into the db and hard code the select statement to the test value it works like a champ.

Is there a better or more correct way to go about testing for existing values in a db?

Thanks again!
