texte = Hello,On my form results page I am trying to build the fields names to append to my database. I do this as I am trying to append a single record for each of 7 different sets of information from my form page.The form vaiables display fine on the results page, however when I try to dynamically 'build' the fieldnames (to make the system automatic), I get he text of the form field names in the database instead of the value or the form variables.In the code below, I have the append commented out while I try to figure this out. If I enter the actual form field name e.g. [usd/jpy_Q3] then I properly get the value for this orm variable. However, when building the same name, I only get the text in the database, e.g. usd/jpy_Q3 instead of the value of this field. Here is the code.[text show=t]period1=[LOOKUP db=/dbs/period.db&value=1&lookInField=period_id&returnField=periodValue¬Found=error][/text] [text show=t]period2=[LOOKUP db=/dbs/period.db&value=2&lookInField=period_id&returnField=periodValue¬Found=error][/text]

[search db=/dbs/pollnames.db&gePoll_IDData=1&Poll_IDsmm=t&Poll_IDsort=1&poll_idsdir=as] numfound=[numfound]
