Dieter,
I think I resolved the quirky bidding issue I mentioned in my previous posting.
I posted a new test item, bid against it and all seems normal.
Below are the changes I made in sub proc_bid.
I know more sub routines need to be modified but not sure which ones remain so I will wait for your next steps.

I went to 'sub proc_bid' and added
   my $location;
   to the header of 'sub proc_bid'

I then:
    - searched 'sub proc_bid' for every instance of Code:

   (
       $title,
       $reserve,
       $inc,
       $desc,
       $image,
       $start_time,
       $close_time,
       $clicks,
       @bids
   ) = @item;

               
And replaced it with Code:

   (
       $title,
       $reserve,
       $inc,
       $desc,
       $image,
       $start_time,
       $close_time,
  $location,
       $clicks,
       @bids
   ) = @item;

Dieter,

I have done the following in sub disp_list

Changed the header from:
sub disp_list {
   my $itm_cnt = 0;
   my $line_cnt = 0;
   my $page_cnt = 0;
   my $found = 0;
   my $dest = undef;
   my $ret_val = 1;
   my @allfiles = ();

TO::

sub disp_list {
   my $itm_cnt = 0;
   my $line_cnt = 0;
   my $page_cnt = 0;
   my $found = 0;
   my $dest = undef;
   my $ret_val = 1;
   my @allfiles = ();
my $location;

And I changed::
                   (
                       $title,
                       $reserve,
                       $inc,
                       $desc,
                       $image,
                       $start_time,
                       $close_time,
                       undef,
                       @bids
                   ) = @{read_item_file($cat, $item)};

 TO::
                   (
                       $title,
                       $reserve,
                       $inc,
                       $desc,
                       $image,
                       $start_time,
                       $close_time,
                   $location,
                       undef,
                       @bids
                   ) = @{read_item_file($cat, $ite[red]m)};

I am not clear on what this sub rountine is supposed to do, but I uploaded the file with these modifications and it seems fine. Have I missed anything that needs attention in sub disp_list?

The bidding is acting funny again. In the "more TOP Items" all of the test Items I posted indicate  they each have at least One bid made when they actually have none. Also, if I place a bid that equals the buy-it-now price, the bid shows in the bid history table and the Information table displays the correct number of bids (1) but the "more TOP Items" table shows 2 bids having been placed.



I still cannot bring up any files in "My Auction-Center" yet. I guess that will be addressed with modifications to disp_closed_item somehow.
