Maybe. Are you saying that I can do multiple [founditems] inside of a single search context? No, you can't be, that's not possible (right)? Do you mean nesting 3 searches, but changing the order of them as required by whichever option (T/Q/N)? Sorry if what you're saying is simple and I'm overcomplicating it, but I'm not totally following you yet... oh and thanks for the help. -Dan ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
