Re: Displaying fetched values in html form

As for the forum, your description does not suggest a DBI problem, but rather a general Perl problem. Hence I suggest the newsgroup comp.lang.perl.misc. -- Cheers Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 13/06/2006 http://savage.net.au/index.html Let the record show: Microsoft is not an Australian company
