You can use multiple seperate [search] contexts, or one or more [search] contexts embedded within other [search] contexts, and/or you can also use the [lookup] tag to grab the data from just one field of a specific record in a specific db. Check the docs for proper syntax on these tags and contexts.HTH, post again if you get stuck. :-)-JohnTony Frenzel wrote:> Ok guys, see what you can do with this one... > > I'm developing a Web Catalog site that utilizes a product database and > cart, I've also hard coded links in the SEARCH.TPL for Inventory and > Shipping, two different pages to be displayed in the RESULTS.TPL that > need to refer to inventory.db and shipstatus.db.
