Elliot,
Thanks for the help. I did modify links.def (and 4 other files) and added two fields similar to the what's cool fields to create a "site of the week" award and a "site of the year" award. I figured that the links database would be created with the new modifications since I made these changes before implementing the program. However, I will check that this morning and see what the deal is. Thanks for your insights.

Other than this I really haven't changed the program. My bosses wanted me to evaluate the program and see if it was adaptable, and if so, they would buy the sql version. I am more of a OO programmer than a Perl programmer, but, I do know enough to be dangerous [mostly to myself :) ].

Thanks again for your help.
