Under the right circumstances, you can call a page whatever you want (see my signature, below - the page is a .Spain page! but it's PHP). However, you should name the files .php You would probably, for simplicities sake, have three pages, one to collect the search information from the user, and a second, to display the results of the search, and collect the "update information" from the user, finally a third to display their changes. When you get a bit cleverer <G> it will all go on one page. Start by creating your form in HTML, to collect the information that you need, to search for the unique number. PS - how are you going to check that it isn't just some time-waster like me, visiting the page, and entering any old rubbish? -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
