This is the best way to perform searches that used to require nesting (which was a long time ago, before the text context was introduced -- but even then you could create 'text' variables to be used in include files, and therefore avoid nested searches by putting your second search inside the include file).Nested searches are slower and more resource-consuming than consecutive searches, and they are harder to review and debug when looking at the code.Thanks Brian for the great example!:) Sincerely, Kenneth Grome--------------------------------------------------- WebDNA Professional Training and Development Center 175 J.
