Seems that you can't use a variable in a convertwords>database?You cannot have webdna tags interpreted properly in any database unless you wrap the database fieldname tags in an interpret context. But since convertwords does not use database fieldname tags visibly, your only possible option is to try this:[founditems][text show=f]keyword=[Url][woGroup1data][/Url][/text][interpret][Convertwords db=hilight.db][notes][/Convertwords][/interpret][/founditems]Unfortunately I do not think this is going to work -- because webdna interprets its tags and contexts from the inside out. So by the time it gets to the interpret context, the convertwords context should already have the [keyword] variable set to the literal value [keyword] -- which will mean that trying to interpret it OUTSIDE the convertwords context is not going to do anything.Maybe I'm wrong, so if you give this a try please tell us if it actually works, thanks.Another option would be to use a regular search on a database, instead of relying on convertwords. Because in a regular search you *must* use visible fieldname taags in order to extract the values from the fields. And if you use regular fieldname tags, you can easily put each of those tags inside interpret contexts ...-- Sincerely,Kenneth Grome-------------------------------------------------------------My programmers will write WebDNA code for you at $27 an hour!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com>.To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com>To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to <WebDNA-Talk-digest@talk.smithmicro.com>Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/
