Thanks for your help Robin,
Being very lazy I am going to try do
This in a way where I don't have to have a submit
For each row. I'll keep your suggestion as a backup
If the other doesn't work.

Subject: Re: Indexing multiple records for potential updates
Hi Maureen ,
All you need is a PRIMARY KEY (eg an auto_increment column) in your
MySQL
table. Then, places each row in it's own form. , with all the table
values
in textboxes, and a submit button at the end of each row. If you have a
hidden field in each row containing the unique index, then when you
click
on submit after changing a value, you get:
$do = "UPDATE Table SET Column1 = \"" . param("Column1") . "\", Column2
=
\"" . param("Column2") . "\" ... WHERE ColumnIndex = " .
param("ColumnIndex") . ";";
$dbh->do($do);
