You're not really going to use this database, so the field names are irrelevant. Follow the process allowing database helper to make you test database.Then look in the folder on your hard drive for the database that database helper just created. In there you will see a number of tpl files. Look for Search.tpl and Results.tpl. They work together. In Search.tpl, you will see how to set up a user generated sort on any field in your database. Learn the concept and you can apply it to your database.___Joe___ ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
