Yes, this is caused by the same undocumented *feature* I discovered a week or two ago.When you place a [delete] tag inside any context that goes thru a loop -- such as [founditems] or [listfiles] or [loop] -- the delete tag will NOT work the way you might expect.That's because each time an item is deleted inside a looping context, all the index values for the remaining items are changed. But since the process of deleting items relies on the ORIGINAL index value -- not the new index value that's created after each item is deleted -- the results are never what you want.Therefore, you should NEVER use a [delete] tag inside a context that goes thru a looping process!Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
