Hi,
when your inserting address it looks like you missed out a value...

remember the insert syntax is....

insert into tblName (column1, column2) values ("column1","column2")

you've got something like this...

insert into tblName (column1, column2) values ("column1")

Where you've missed one of the columns.

let me know how you get on.

[whitey]

aha, found it.

So the message actually means that your mysql column count doesnt match the number of values it has to insert into db

[harshmaul]

yea, it could be insert, or update, i think even select if you make up the name for a column ;)

glad you solved it :)
