It's messing up searches since the $ is a lower ascii number than regular alphanumeric characters, making the price field data essentially numbers lower than zero, so le and ls find all records, and gr, ge, and eq find none. Deleting the $ from the DB solves the problem, but I was wondering if there was a way in webDNA to overcome the problem instead. grPRICEdatarq=[raw]$[/raw][price]&PRICEtype=num doesn't help.Terry Wilson terry@terryfic.com Terry Wilson terryw@terryfic.com------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
