That's what you're doing with those carriage returns -- it thinks they're part of the fieldname. But since you have no field named __blank in your database, WebCatalog just ignores that field and moves on to the next one, which is title. Since there *is* a field named title, it goes ahead and appends that information to the database. > Chris Gursche EC&T Electronic Colour & Type Corp Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
