texte = >What I need to return is the item (or items) _in the client's >list of items_ that is not in my database: > bananasOK, so you're asking it to return a list of things that *aren't* in the database at all? Sorry, it can only search on things that exist. The are an infinite number of things that don't exist. Here's something to try: force the user to put each word into a separate textbox, and then do a separate search for for each of those words. When a search turns up 0, you know they've typed something that doesn't exist in the database.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
