Non-numeric values need to be quoted properly for the database to understand what you are trying to do. DBI provides an excellent way to do the quoting automatically by using placeholders. Your queries are better written as: $opdracht = "INSERT INTO wonigen (complex,plaats,straat,huisnr) VALUES (?,?,?,?)"; $sth = $dbh->prepare($opdracht); $sth->execute($complex,$plaats,$straat,$teller) or die "Connection Error: $DBI::errstr\n"; Not only will this free you from worrying about how to quote the variables, but it allows you to re-use the same statement with different variables by passing different arguments to execute again. -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] End Point Corporation
