Re: Forms Question

Thanks for your response, but you misinterpreted my question. I know how to
get the information, what I need to know is how to display it in an html
form.

i.e.
             _________                    ___________
Name:  |_________|    Address: |___________|

How do I put the values I retrieve in these form boxes......?
