Thanks to all! As requested by a few people, I was just about to send a sample of my 'dodgy' code when I read an e-mail suggesting I use a 'Protected' doGet() method. I tried this but it didn't work - however it did remind me about the 'Synchronized' keyword (as I stated earlier, I am new to java but have read extensively on it - so somewhere in the basement of my brain the facts are there). I made the doGet() method both Synchronized and Protected and Hey Presto! everything works - no more dodgy variables. I still don't quite understand what was changing the variables as there was only one request being made to the server for the servlet, though as I outlined in an earlier e-mail the server feedback seemed to indicate there were 2 Get() requests being made. Anyway - it's working A OK now, so I'm off for a coffee! Many thanks for all the contributions. Best Regards, Billy Graham.
