Here is the code:

<form name="Search2" method="POST">
<select name="Search3" size="1">
<option value="#" selected>Not Yet Working</option>
<option value="db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&view_records=1&Status=Available|Pending&re=on">Available Listings</option>
</select><input type="button" onclick="location = ''+document.Search2.Search3.options[document.Search2.Search3.selectedIndex].value;" value="Go!" />
</form>

I can get it to work in the browser but when I put this code into html.pl, I get a dbman error. When I delete the RED (above), dbman accepts it. What am I doing wrong?

And thank you Lois for your FAQ's! They are wonderful and give many great ideas and fixes.

Are you also using the | in your print qq| ?

That would do it.

try using %7C instead of the |

Or:

\|

Thank you all! This message board is the fastest and best of all I frequent. Adding the URL didn't matter. I am using the pipe rather than the exclamation point.

%7C instead of the | worked! It was the pipe that dbman was not liking. The search works great now!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to actually pay for this software. I have found DBMan more useful than any script out there.
