Hi Rob, as Wiggins already mentioned - I guess the easiest way to solve this is to let your database do the counting/grouping. Just send a statement like this to your database: SELECT count(*), build FROM Jun04 WHERE dept=22 and room=20 GROUP by build HTH, Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
