    Thank you. However, it is still putting it like this:

    value = 1 label = Jan
    ..10 ..Oct
    ..11 ..Nov
    ..12 ..Dec
    ..2 ..Feb
    ..3 ..Mar
    ...Etc.

    Here is what I put:

    popup_menu(-name=>"month_array", -values=>[sort {$a cmp $b} keys %month_array], -labels=>\%month_array, -default=>$mon, -class=>"formfield")

    Did I do it wrong?
    OOPS. I see, I did not add the 0 in front of the others :o)

    thx,
    Richard

      No problem. Glad to help!

      If you absolutely can't have the leading zero, do what the good monk pfaut did below.
