This message is long, just focas on the bold parts which their aint that much, dont mind the smilies
Plz help me solve the compile error

An overview of my program
The program takes the results from a html form(questionaire) than either updates the files with the results or adds the results(which would be the first time the program was used when the first form was submited) The files that the program outputs to are html, so the results had to be put in a specific position,(via the function getposition), in the file in order for a browser to show the questions, the answers, the amount of answers per anwser.
ex: how old are you?
18 (3 said 18)

Hi,

I have the same problem. Can you tell me how you solved this one?

Thanks.

You probably want to pass by reference.
