If you only want the admin to see these fields, then use the following codes:

Code:
|; 
if ($per_admin) { 
    print qq|$rec{'FieldName'}|; 
} 
print qq|

If you want people who add records to see these fields, then replace $per_admin with $per_add. Also, replace FieldName with the name of your fields that you want the admin or others to see.

Eliot thanks for helping me with this..
What im have is 16 fields in the dbman
I have used the configurator and generated the 2 following files
http://www.adoptionseekers.com/default.txt
http://www.adoptionseekers.com/html.txt
when i use the configurator i get the missing bracket error...Reason: Missing right bracket at ./html.pl line 1458, at end of line
syntax error at ./html.pl line 1458, at EOF
I can plainly see that the problem is in these few lines in the sub html_record...It seems to be putting an extra { at the end of the lines...
print qq| |;
if ($rec{'Your State'}) {
print qq| |;
if ($per_admin) {
print qq|
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Your State:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'Your State'}</Font></TD></TR>
|;
}
.......................................
if ($rec{'Your State'}) {

you can see at the end of the line it has an extra { with no closing bracket..im not sure what to do with it..remove it or add another ..its confusing me..
it also appears here as well....
print qq| |;
if ($rec{'Phone Number'}) {
print qq| |;
if ($per_admin) {
print qq|
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Phone Number:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'Phone Number'}</Font></TD></TR>
|;
}
when i did this on the configurator it was admin only but not required...What im trying to accomplish is that all required fields are to filled out but registered users but only i can see the submitted info that i have marked per admin
can you help me with this please?
thanks again..
carl

I would recommend NOT using the configurator to make adjustments to your HTML codes in the html.pl file!

These codes are ALL screwed up:

Code:
print qq| |; 
if ($rec{'Phone Number'}) { 
print qq| |; 
if ($per_admin) { 
print qq| 
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Phone Number:</FONT></TD> 
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'Phone Number'}</Font></TD></TR> 
|; 
}

THEY should be the following:

Code:
|; 
if ($per_admin) { 
if ($rec{'Phone Number'}) { 
print qq| 
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Phone Number:</FONT></TD> 
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'Phone Number'}</Font></TD></TR> 
|; 
} 
}
