DBman works well except for when I go to modify, it then removes text from a few of the fields. This occurs even though the info is previously present in the "list" ie the field in list called "City" will show info in the final listing but will go blank when called in by the "modify" screen. Any ideas thanks in advance

A URL where we could try it out would help immensely. Also try turning on $db_auto_generate, if the problem goes away (i.e. you can modify successfully), then the problem is in your form somewhere.

Cheers,

Alex
