H::FH also gives you the option of templating each field or form yourself or "rendering" the whole form in one function call, or just some of the fields. Definately recommended. regards, Aaron -- Aaron J Trevena, BSc Hons http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Consulting
