Gerald, The version of MySQL is 3.23, the platform is Solaris, the language is English and the way I check whether data has been entered in the database or not is by running a select query on the database.
Was that of any help? I tried searching the net but couldn't find more information about what might be causing the problem... Thanks, George "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
