to save space in my database i set up the yes/no questions to = 1 (for yes) or 0 (for no) how do get dbman to write out "yes" for 1 and "no" for a 0

You mean you have a field in your database which contains "1" for "yes" and "0" for "no" and want dbman to print out "yes"/"no" in search results?

Then you could add to the beginning of html_record, after the line "my %rec = @_":

$rec{'field_name'} =~ s/1/yes/;
$rec{'field_name'} =~ s/0/no/;

....

print "$rec{'field_name'}";

With "field_name" being the name of the field that holds "1" or "0".

You can just do:

print $rec{'field_name'};

I know , I know......being picky.

Well, assuming that more html code will go into the print code, quotes would be nice, wouldn't they. :-)

print $rec{'field_name'} . "blaaaa";

....but as there was no html then I thought I'd point out that " " weren't needed

Yes, I know it's difficult to fathom that people add some seemingly unnecessary code because they think something *might* exist even though it doesn't at the moment.
