All I want to do is drop down my 9 field database down to a three field search.

I want people to be able to input all 9 of the fields... but just be able to search on three.

I know the answer is out there... but I only get 50 results when I search and I'm not finding it.

I'm sorry.

Joe

You da man.

Thanks for the help.
Lord knows if I have specifics... I'm coming to you. You appear to be the absolute resident expert!

I respect that.
Programming this kinda stuff makes no sense to me.

I can help with debugging and also fixing problems with current Mods, but I am finished writing Mods for these scripts. Too many headaches and frustrations.

I want a simple search outside of the templates that I use. I made a form and pointed it to the db,
When I submit I get from dbman:
Error: Unknown Action
UserID:default

<form action="http://www.hampton-houses.com/hampton-housescgi/dbman/db.cgi" method="GET">
<input type=hidden name="db" value="default">
<input type=hidden name="uid" value="default">
Is this right?

Bert99,
yes, but you may need some other hidden fields

Thanks Dave, I am making progress, but here is the latest
I get to dbman:
The database program received a command that it did not understand.

This most likely occurred because you sent an invalid command line. Please try another command.
