Yeah, no errors, just nothing in the array... I put in debugging code, but no errors returned, just nothing. So, if I put it in the code, how does it output the response? For example, if I do it like this: 
my @_mb = $dbh->table_info;
    my $_tablesAffected = 0;
    foreach $_k (@_mb) {
        # Ran code in here...
    }

What would the @_mb have it in? just table names? So that way I could loop through it like it already does: 
  foreach $_k (@_mb) {
    my $_sql = "select * from $_k LIMIT 0";
    my $sth2 = $dbh->prepare($_sql);
    $sth2->execute();
    my @_mb2 = @{$sth2->{NAME}};
    foreach $_k2 (@_mb2) {
        # then looking for column names with username:

        if($_k2 =~ /username/i) {
            # do what they are looking for
        }
    next;
    }
  }

or is there a bunch of fields in the @_mb array? Thx, -Richard
