ThomasH,

thanx for the response... You are correct in assuming the following:

1, 40, 'M', 'Bob', 'Mr', ''

1, 40, 'M', 'John', 'Mr', ''

1, 40, 'F', 'Betty', 'Mrs', ''

1, 40, 'F', 'Jane', 'Mrs',...

Thanx for the help......  If you can believe it, I had an 'end if' in the wrong place which caused the re-submit of the querystring not to execute..... DOH!

Thanx kraks... I haven't used XML before. does it have to be used with a stored procedure? Can this be used with MS Access also?

Thanx Andy...... Do you know where I can find some examples?

Thanx for the help.... I'm getting a different error.... here it is:

Error Type:
