It is nearly always better to issue them a unique username and/or password, then have them enter that value in a form ... to be used in your search.The form doesn't show up because it is more than likely contained within the founditems context. When nothing is found, nothing inside the founditems context will be displayed ...Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
