They will all find the %96 value in the f1 field in the db. And of course the most common syntax is the middle one, because it clearly illustrates the proper technique of single-URLing the value you want to find in the db.:) Sincerely, Kenneth Grome--------------------------------------------------- WebDNA Professional Training and Development Center 175 J.
