Apparently webcatalog was interpreting the ip addresses as a number instead of as text, and even though they *looked* exactly the same on both sides of the comparison, apparently when they got interpreted by webcat they STOPPED looking the same, and the comparison failed.So if you force webcat to look at both sides as text -- by surrounding both sides with quotes -- then maybe that may solve the problem without any other changes ... :)If that doesn't work, then it's likely that the [ipaddress1] value is an ip address which was NOT created by a webcatalog [ipaddress] tag somewhere else, and therefore it's not a 'normalized' IP address -- which means it does not have the leading zeros as in the .028 portion of the address in the first hideif. that means you simply have to normalize the [ipaddress1] before putting it into the hideif ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
