Dave, you were right but there is another problem. Here's the entire code.

+wd')

+for $pagenum.
my $LastName=param('LastName');

I am trying to get results from a table in the MySQL database and show 5 results per page. The initial search does just that having determined the correct number of pages required, and shows links 1-2-3-etc-Next on the bottom of the page. However when page 2, 3, or Next are called the $Name value is ignored and everything in the column 'Location' is counted again and everything is presented with the correct number(5 rows) per page. Why is the name value being ignored?? Help Please!!!
