Ok i got dbman all installed and customized but the ID field no longer works i want it so it has the counter starting from 1 on up but it just dont work anymore.

any sugjestions?

thx

There's a few things you should check here:

In default.cfg:

1) You have set $db_key to 'ID'
2) You have set $db_key_track to 1
3) Your path to the count ($db_id_file_name) file is set properly
(default is $db_script_path . "/default.count")
4) Your ID field is type 'numer' (just for sorting puposes)

Then in html.pl

1) You are calling the field properly - $rec{'ID'}
(assuming you aren't using auto-generate)

These are the more obvious errors that could come about... It's just a matter of double-checking everything. If all else fails, you may want someone to look over your files (sometimes a second pair of eyes helps ).

Good luck!
