texte = Robert I am coming in late, but here's a couple things that may help you sort it allout:ANY variable named anything you want can be passed from one page to another in a linklike so-somepage?var1=whatever&var2=whatever2or thru a form like so-
-another topic-webcat can retrieve the value of any variable at any time by putting the name of thevar inside brackets, like so-[varname]this assumes you have a value for that var, like you just passed it from the previouspage via a link or form (as justexplained), or if you have given the var a value higher up on the same page using awebcat [math] or [text] context.-another topic-you can search a db using webcat either with a context or command. Commands areinvoked in the link-
[Author4] or thru a form-
when you use a command you just need the [founditems] loop on the next page.CONTEXTS on the other hand are invoked on the same page you put the [founditems] likeso-[search db=some.db&eqAuthor1data=[Author4]][founditems]do stuff with the record(s) found by the search[/founditems][/search]HTH-JohnRobert McPeak wrote:> Thanks for your reply Mike.
