Ok. You have now redeemed yourself by posting in context..

Remember you are using Perl, and variables are case sensitive.

  $cgi->{BVPage}

is not the same as

  $CGI->{BVPage}.

not sure why this one didn't work.. are you sure you are getting a result
from [cgi BVPage]?

incidentally, back to the Perl thing..

> > > [if cgi BVPage="Budget"] [/if]

is incorrect because '=' is not used for testing

[if cgi BVPage eq "Budget"] for strings

and

[if cgi BVPage == 10] for numerics

Webmaint.

ps. the odd 'thankyou' doesn't go amiss, same goes for feedback on whether
things _did_ work!
