texte = Ken,Please have a look at http://secure.ims1.com/hlc/Search.tmplI guess what I'm getting at is this: I want the fields in which no value is specified by the user to be ignored so that if a user doesn't select any items from the popups or type any text or numbers into the fields, all the records will be returned.ANDIf the user does select an item from the a popup or types text or numbers into a field then the search is performed on only those criteria.I do this all the time with Tango which allows one to specify that when fields are empty they are not used as search criteria (allows you to set include empty to false). Am I making sense? I only want to find records that have fields that match what is specified by the user in the search form, but if they specify nothing, then I want all the records to be returned.thanks, Paul> >Hi Paul, > >How many text input fields are there -- just one, or several?
