texte = Hi Alan,Your code appears to be consistent with what I was thinking. As for making the menu, you're on the right track with the logic you propose. I don't think you can do just one search and get the results for each range. If I'm wrong about this, I'm sure someone on the list can let us know. I'd suggest the following to perhaps tighten up the code: -1. include the opening menu code 0. repeat 1 and 2 for all the ranges 1. search for the range 2. show the menu *item* code for the range if the number found [numfound] is greater than zero (you may need to make sure that items with zero quantity are excluded from the search) 3. close the menu code after you've repeated for all of your rangesThe difference is that you don't need to have a separate search for each range if you can somehow consolidate it. I forget what real programmers call this, but it means less effort in trying to change things later. It also provides more portable code. Although I haven't tried it, in version 5 of WebDNA, you might be able to use the function context. I don't have the syntax in front of me, but it should work like: 1. open the menu 2. function menuitem with value _low 3. function menuitem with value _med 4. function menuitem with value _highThe function would contain steps 1 (search for range) and 2 (return menu item if appropriate) of the first list above.
