Default 97 Accord EX not starting

Started last week. It seems to start just fine when its cold. Once the motor is at temp (or any semblance of) and I try to start the car I just get a clicking sound. Checked battery and replaced the Main Relay under the dash. No Joy. Any Suggestions??

Clicking sound from the starter?
Have someone smack the starter while you hold the key in the "crank" position.
If it starts cranking over the engine you need new starter contacts.
