(I hate it when I feel dumb.) X¿x ~~~ I need to check the database to see if a record is there. If it's there then increment it by one, otherwise add the record. If two people hit it at the right time I may get two records. What should I do to prevent this? This is what the code would look like. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
