This was it! The client's csv file had an extra space at the end of the year. I didn't know this because I have no shell access to the server, so I can't get directly at the file. I can only write code based on the layout he gives me, column names and numbers. I called his sys admin and he says, "Well, I'm having dinner right now." B**s*ard! If I have to work as long as it takes to get this done, he can send me the @$%#$ csv file! And sure enough, there were trailing spaces in all the numeric fields! I just did a trim() when doing the INSERT. Thanks again all for all the help. I'm just sorry it turned out to be so simple. Also, I think being new to SQLite I'm probably focusing on it, thinking it must be working differently than other databases I have more experience with, and losing site of the raw data elements I'm working with. Live and learn, and a BIG thanks again to all. Now I can watch The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard and go to bed. -- Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 503 S Baldwin St, #1 Madison, WI 53703 608-250-2720 http://bigskypenguin.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Check out PHPenguin, a lightweight and versatile PHP/MySQL, AJAX & DHTML development framework. http://phpenguin.bigskypenguin.com/ _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
