If the data is already on your server, and the databases are stored in the Globals/Data directory from the look of it, there is no reason to use [tcpconnect] at all. Just use your existing search...When you have two different machines and you need to get data from one to the other, you need to understand that [tcpconnect] is just the world's stupidest browser. You use it to connect to a regular template on the remote server, then parse out the returned information (typically using [middle]). It doesn't support java[script], or redirects, or hardly anything. It is just like you hitting the remote server with a telnet session: text only.HTHJohn -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
