I posted this in the installation area but got no replies. Can someone please help me:
I have a database set up for a online horse sim game to reg horses into. every thing is up and going but the view/search/list all option. When looking for a particular record it comes back "no search term specified"(list all) and "No records match search term"(I think on the view option. I know for sure the records are there as the records show up in default.db. I think the site the db is on runs unix and I use windows 95, the only changes made was according to jp-deny's site and I used the configurator from her site.
The default user is view only and a registered user is all but administration, I have full access to all options including administration. I want search set up so you do not have to check any of the match any, extact match ect ect areas near the submit button.

I would like to set the Reg# for exact match and every thing else for match any. How do I go about doing this.
I have saved the default.cfg and html.pl as text and will include links to them along with the main page of the database.
I set the debug on to see if that helps out finding what is wrong. I have checked JP Deni's and the dbman gossimer(?) help files and I dont understand. Do I have to make a seperate page that lists all options for searching with each record??? help would be greatly appreciated. If you do not want to post back here you can email me at :

Dakota:

I've looked at your files and do not see why it would not be showing the records. The only thing I can think of, and I may be wrong, is the use of the # sign in a field name.

Try changing the name of the field to Reg_no and see if you are then able to view the records. Be sure to change the field name in all files.

Let me know if that made a difference.

Hi Lois thanks for the suggestion, it didn't make a bit of a difference though. What happened I had the autherization set to on and should have been off. It works like a dream now.

Is there some way to change the background and add a image to the results page at all with out doing a template or is one neccisary. If so I aint messing with it they will just have to live with the way it is LOL. Again thanks.

If you are using the user friendly mod, it's very easy to add a background image on just one line within your script.

There are various related thread in the FAQ noted below under the section "Viewing / Format". What you do will depend on your layout mod.
