Thanks for all of the advice. I will remove the enctype from my form tag for now as I am just trying to create a flat file DB at this time.

Once I understand the basics of what I am trying to do I will be changing things to use more efficient code. But if I can't even get the basics down there is no way I'll be able to use the more advanced stuff.

As to my problem, I think you have answered it. I am using a windows XP system and writing the program on that. I do not believe it is set-up for webserver capabilities. I recently reinstalled XP after an infection and a hardware problem and am leery about what may make my system vulnerable. So now I have to see what I need for a webserver.

Thank You
