Dieter,
I kept on trying and realized that where I was inserting the $location variable was disrupting the time related variables and causing the auctions to suddenly close.

So I changed:
(
  $title,
  $reserve,
  $inc,
  $desc,
 $location,
  $image,
  $start_time,
  $close_time,
  $clicks,
  @bids
   ) = @{read_item_file($form{'category'}, $form{'item'})};

To:
(
  $title,
  $reserve,
  $inc,
  $desc,
  $image,
  $start_time,
  $close_time,
 $location,
  $clicks,
  @bids
   ) = @{read_item_file($form{'category'}, $form{'item'})};

Now The location value is being posted on the New Item form and the auction time seems to be running as it should but the bidding is funny-it seems the the program thinks the user who posted the item is also bidding on it via the Bid-Agent and always appears as the high bidder.

I will keep trying.

Step 7:
   goto 'sub disp_item' and add
   my $location;
   to the header
               
   - search 'sub disp_item' for every instance of Code:
    (
       $title,
       $reserve,
       $inc,
       $desc,
       $image,
       $start_time,
       $close_time,
       $clicks,
       @bids
   )

               
   - replace it with Code:
    (
       $title,
       $reserve,
       $inc,
       $desc,
       $image,
       $start_time,
       $close_time,
       $location,
       $clicks,
       @bids
   )


Step 8:
  - search 'sub disp_item' for Code:
print <<EO_HTML;
<div align="center">
<h4>$title</h4>


   -add Code:
                                <tr>
                                   <td bgcolor="$config{'colortablehead'}" nowrap><b>$txt{'Location'}: </b></td>
                                   <td bgcolor="$config{'colortablebody'}" width="300" nowrap><b>$location</b></td>
                               </tr>

    where you need it.
                   
Will be continued ...

Dieter,

Thank you once again.  Steps 7 and 8 are done.
You probably are aware that what is happening now is that the user who posts an item is recognized as the highest bidder. After I posted a test item I had a different user bid for it. Their bid was immediately surpassed by the user who originally made the posting so it appears as if the posted pricing information is also being used like the bid-agent would be for the person who posted. I presume this will be eliminated when another sub routine is modified. I will begin to look for which sub routine that might be.

On the learning side of this tutorial you are kindly walking me through-, I am not sure why the $location variable is being inserted multiple times in adifferent subroutines' header. Wouldn't getting it into the Item file be enough for the other sub routines to reference when the $form{'LOCATION'} is referenced or called?

Regards,
