That is indeed what I ended up doing, and it worked. Thanks.

Is there a mysql command that will increment the value of a field in an

to find anything in the online documentation.
update t1 set f = f + 1
Unfortunately that will update all the records in the database. It's
likely he would prefer to update a particular record via
update t1 set f = f + 1 where id = 1234;
Which will update only the record matching the id of 1234. Brad Eacker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
