You're mixing them together, and that doesn't work.I've read your posts and offered suggestions, but you never replied to my last suggestion with any kind of report to let me know if it worked or not. And now it looks like you've decided to rewrite your WebDNA to use $search commands in your shownext code. Believe me, that does NOT work!What were your results from the suggestions I made the last time? Did you try those suggestions?I'm going to re-post the important points from my last message below. Please try my suggestions this time ...1 - Don't use the $search command when performing context-based searches. 2 - Don't use [searchstring] when performing context-based searches. 3 - Remove the following parameter from the form that collects your search parameter values:4 - The last parameter in your search context should be startat=[startat], not startat=[start]. Now, after you've performed the tasks above, please post the complete HTML for your form page *AND* the following results page ... so I can see what you've done. Until I have *ALL* this information, I cannot be very effective in helping you ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
