I have made very few changes to my db.cgi file. Actually, let me first check the database file itself. In the process of the construction of this system, I may have screwed up the ID listing -- which may be confusing the counter. Am still having a problem with DBman returning date information on a Windows NT server. If I change the 0 to 1 for "allow empty field," then the $get_date returns a blank field.
-- sigh.
