The SELECT should return every column but the specified ones. You can use your language constructs, -- for PHP 'unset($var)' or in Perl 'delete $var'. PHP example: echo '<table>'; $res=mysql_query('SELECT * FROM TName'); while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res) ) { unset($row['dateOB'], $row['idSCHOOL']); echo '<tr><td>', implode('</td><td>', $row), '</td></tr>'; } echo '</table>'; Regards, -- Don Read [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- It's always darkest before the dawn.
