Hi!
You have a wrong code in your script you wrote:
Code: 
<tr BGCOLOR="<?$BGColor?>">
:?:
need write
Code: 
<tr BGCOLOR="<?echo ($BGColor)?>">
:!:

and next code you need change too.
 
Thanks wizard.

I am still getting the error :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&', expecting ',' or ';' in ..... on line 29

Line 29 is :

<td class="description" valign="top" align="center"><?=&rs["Position"]?></td>

Can you assist again?

Thanks.

I can help you.

Code: 
<td class="description" valign="top" align="center"><?=$rs["Position"]; ?></td>

you forget to write ; after array element...
 
Your loop generating the table rows is full of errors. I've highlighted them in bold for you.

The first line should be:
<tr BGCOLOR="<?=$BGColor?>"> You left out the '=' sign.

All the table cell values should be in the format:
<?=$rs["keyName"]?>
You have used the '&' sign in several instances, and sometimes nothing at all. Also, for the 'Points' value, you have used curly brackets () instead of square brackets []
