texte = Thanks for the reply Donovan,I have quadruple checked my variables! They are coming in fine before the showifs, just as I had entered them. I changed cl_description to cl_desc just to see if it was having a problem with the name of the variable, and it still funked out. Then I changed it back to the old way, and now it works...???? I know it wasn't a type 'cause I used a find and replace to change the names back and forth rather than typing them. I'm still confused as hell, but at least now it works.Weird.Donovan wrote:> Robert Wade wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > I have a form where there area couple of textareas.
