Maybe try changing: `&PopulateEventDropDown(@EventList,$eventChoice);` [download] to `PopulateEventDropDown($eventChoice, @EventList);` [download] and this `my $eventChoice = shift; my @Records = @_;` [download] is then more simply described as `my ($eventChoice,@Records) = @_;` [download] hth	[reply] [d/l] [select]

&PopulateEventDropDown(@EventList,$eventChoice);
[download]

PopulateEventDropDown($eventChoice, @EventList);
[download]

 my $eventChoice = shift;
 my @Records = @_;
[download]

 my ($eventChoice,@Records) = @_;
[download]
