texte = Eric if you post your actual code then you'll get better help. But do try to isolate just the code that is relevant - i.e. just the part that is what you are using to attempt something which is not working. So in this case you would post the code you are using which you think should get each found item along with description, price etc. into a line item format on the result pageYou say you read the manual on [formvariables]? It does just what it says it does - Lists all the form variables and parameters passed to the current page. (There's nothing in that desciption about searching a database.)Please just ask if something in the desciption of what [formvariables] does is confusing to you. :-) If you are trying to search a database for records and then display data from those records on a page then you don't need [formvariables]. People have been suggesting you use [formvariables] just to see if you have successfully written code which will pass the name/value pairs that you DO need to construct a meaningful search. Try to break your confusion down into smaller bits... since it seems like there are several things you are not yet understanding and it's all rolled up into a ball and hard to unravel... For example ask me to explain what I mean if there is something in this post which you don't understand.
