I think what Norm is trying to do (Norm correct me if I'm wrong) is search a DOS-based database using a script from Excite. But the database exists on his personal computer, not the web server. The data has to be updated on the server, but in a format searchable by the script. Seems to be the hard way of doing things, or am I missing something? Why not ask your ISP whether MySQL is installed, and if so, use that? You will need a 'front-end' to access the database once built, written in PHP or Perl - dead easy. You can even install MySQL at home and then use PHPMyAdmin to update the web server. -- /* All outgoing email scanned by Norton Antivirus 2002 */ Amer Neely, Softouch Information Services W: www.softouch.on.ca E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] V: 519.438.5887 Perl | PHP | MySQL | CGI programming for all data entry forms.
