DUH!!!!! Okay I feel like an idiot now. And so I should. I'm really sorry to have taken up so much of your time, people and thanks a lot for the help!

I thought it was something serious and it was my fault all along. I checked what you said about "// get last post" area and realized that I had pasted Brad's code in the wrong place. The editor I'm using doesn't have the ability to search for multiple lines of text so I ended up inserting the code in a different function which was of course pointless!

Then I checked the install directions to check whether there was a bug there, maybe two occurences of the code given. But no. It was my fault all along. But it's typical in a way. To mess up in an easy place. It would have been more likely to get the paths wrong or the dbase info. But no, this is my destiny... I can't believe you are still reading...

Anyhow, THANKS AGAIN to everyone that has tried to help out, I really appreciate it!
