Hi Kaeli
Thanks for your reply, good point, but alas not the case as no record is
added not even a blank one! in fact some of the fields are Drop downs so I
would and do get records with just the defaults. but the problem I have it
comes back 0 so no error is generated and the user thinks they have
completed the form OK!!!
thanks
Adrian
