texte = I need a search string that finds all the records having TELECOM in the category field *AND*either GTE or US WEST in the company field. The first search parameter is easy enough, because it is required for all searches:eqcategorydatarq=TELECOM... but how do I write the other parameters? Please remember, I cannot search for GTE or US or WEST like this:wocompanydatarq=GTE+US+WESTInstead, I must search for GTE or US WEST -- because some of the other records in the company field have US as part of their names, and I only want to retrieve the ones having either GTE *OR* US WEST.Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
