Beauford,

This would probably be more appropriate to post to the languages list, but
here is how you would do it using php (similar results can be achieved using
perl).  You will need to use a statement such as the following, assuming the
script has already made the database connection:

$result = mysql("$DBName","SELECT * FROM Tablename WHERE Itemname =
'$Itemname' ") or die(mysql_error());

... something similar, with possible variations, would retrieve the
information you want.  In cases where you may want drop down menus for
instance, you would need to create an array, then list the values, which
gets a little more complicated, but still isn't too bad.

Thanks,
Keith D Sellars
