> What data type is your field? INT I have to be able to add the values with SUM() for other tables. It's not really a database problem. It appears to be something with PHP. I was able to get around it using this: $atbats=""; $atbats=intval($atbats); and: <?=$atbats ? stripslashes($atbats): "0"; ?> ---------- Randal Rust Covansys Corp. Columbus, OH
