Text Areas Blank When Modifying - Check This
This must be my day for posting solutions to problems for the edification of future generations.

I had a problem: the modify screen was not pulling in the data for a text area for modification.

The solution:
1. Check field names in .cfg and html.pl files
2. Make sure the code looks like this:
Code:
<TEXTAREA WRAP="VIRTUAL" NAME="Description" ROWS=3 COLS=40 MAXLENGTH="1000">
$rec{'Description'}
</TEXTAREA>

Notice where the $rec{'Whatever'} is.

Alex, GREAT program. How about a shopping cart??
