texte = Gary, Yes, there is replication if you show/hide the entire search context. Unnecessary replication is a dangerous thing. If you could do it the way you wanted, with duplicate search contexts, that's still replication... Now you have two (or more) places to update WedDNA code. My method is to have one and only search context, and use showif and hideif within, and maybe setting a text variable now and then. Like you, I have my searches and results all in the same template, and keep my code pretty minimalist using techniques like this. Terry At 2:01 AM -0700 9/14/03, Gary Krockover wrote: >Thanks Terry.
