texte = Rob,Thanks for catching the error in my search the freqDate was supposed to be freqData :)You are correct on the field names. I don't need to search on the sign info, the zodiacdate and freq fields give me the proper record (once I fix the error you point out).I need to display the content of the field for the sig as appropriate.Basically the main page loads, determines today's date. Determines what sign you have if born today, then wants to look into the database for today's horoscope and display the proper horoscope for people born today.So I determine today's sign, and find the proper record, but now need to display one particular field from the record.Maybe I need to stick my test for the sign within the found items loop. I will give that a try next.DaleOn Thu, 01 Nov 2001 09:50:38 -0600 Rob Marquardt
