Hi, When you run your query, do you get the result back in a variable?
$result = mssql_query($query); Then, use that result *if* it is successful. if ( $result ) { ## then query was successful } else { ## query failed. } If you do multiple queries, you should use different $result variables, like so: $result1 = mssql_query($query1); $result2 = mssql_query($query2); $result3 = mssql_query($query3); ... Not sure if this has anything to do with your problem. I couldn't tell if you were doing this with your multiple queries, or not. Hope it helps some.
