As the previous two posters alluded, you need to encapsulate your values in
quotes.  I think you can get by without the backticks, not 100% sure as I've
converted from MYSQL to func_odbc.  If you're not going to go with Steve's
recommendation of AGI, I would highly recommend  switching from func_mysql
to func_odbc; func_odbc is much more straightforward in my opinion, and you
definitely get much better error messages within the CLI as you're watching
your code execute.  ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596517342/asterisk-DB.html
is a good resource for setting up odbc.

Thanks for your responses.

Well, the AGI piece sounds good, but again I am not a programmer but I
certainly will try and try to find some code that I could piece together and
try to make it work.

I will check out Oreilly's stuff, they always seem to have good books when
you are trying to learn something new.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your resonse.
