hello andrewperk,
thanks for your help. i appreciate that. one question though:
what do i have to do to get a false?
because when i use made up database fields i still get a filled array
as a return. so in that case the saving failed and i still dont get a
false.....
is there maybe another way to check if saving succeeded?
thanks a lot!!!!!
