NewRec : people_entries; NewRec := person_name(aName); etc.... Now, would I use a "NewRec" for each field, or would I go something like... NewRec := (aName, aAddr, aNum, aMail); I'm a little fuzzy on this. And how would I tag each record to make it unique, cause all the computer is gonna see is "NewRec" and overwrite the last record for each new one that is entered. Thanks. McDoobie -- This is my sig.
