Hi Dave;

What I'm trying to accomplish is error checking on the form, then return the form in its filled in state with error messages as to what needs correcting.

My problem is each pass through myscript.pl has a parameter that forces it to the next dynamic page. Also, even if I could redirect it, I already have code filling the fields with whatever was previously entered into the database..SO, I was trying to avoid rewriting the whole page with variables from the error messaging program.

Basically, I thought, if I could just grab the whole page in an array, if there are errors, I could reprint the page to the browser and add the error messages to the top of the page.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for yours and everyone who's trying to help me
