I'd like to make DB man print records in bulleted lists sorted by a field called Type. Each time Type changes, I'd like to print the text within Type, then for each record with a similar Type, print each line with a bullet. Problem is that $rec{'Type'} does not have any value when called from sub html_view_success, only within sub html_record. Here is my code snippet from html_view_success:

for (0 .. $numhits - 1) {
if ($rec{'Type'} eq $last) {
print qq|<img src="folder.gif">$rec{'Type'}< br >|;
}
else {
$last = $rec{'Type'};
}
&html_record (&array_to_hash($_, @hits));
}

#********************************************************
and from html_record:
my (%rec) = @_;
($db_auto_generate and print &build_html_record(%rec) and return);
print qq|&#149;<A HREF="$rec{'URL'}" >$rec{'Title'}</A><BR>|;
}

How can I gain access to the contents of a field from within html_view_sucess ?
Thanks!!!!
