Thanks Monks. The \@fields seemed to solve the problem. Bruceb3, the [@fields] ran, but still gave me all the same first record. Is there a prefference to pushing an entire array, vs. just a ref to it? I'll check out the perldoc & study a little further. Also, I assume the 2+$#Bars in the sample code above, is because she doesn't know how many rows she'll need, correct? Thanks again for the help.
