texte = Eric if you post your actual code then you'll get better help. But do try to isolatejust the code that is relevant - i.e. just the part that is what you are using toattempt something which is not working. So in this case you would post the code youare using which you think should get each found item along with description, priceetc. 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 isconfusing to you. :-) If you are trying to search a database for records and thendisplay data from those records on a page then you don't need [formvariables]. Peoplehave been suggesting you use [formvariables] just to see if you have successfullywritten code which will pass the name/value pairs that you DO need to construct ameaningful search. Try to break your confusion down into smaller bits... since itseems like there are several things you are not yet understanding and it's all rolledup into a ball and hard to unravel... For example ask me to explain what I mean ifthere is something in this post which you don't understand.
