It what way is it not working? What do you see when you View Source?[search main database] [founditems] <-- loops thru all shirts found [search colors database&eqSKUdata=[sku]] <-- [sku] comes from main database [founditems] <-- loops thru all matching colors [/founditems] [/search] [/founditems] [/search]Try just doing the inner search and manually setting the sku in the URL when you hit that page. This should tell you if you've got the right logic.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
