Thanks for the syntax fix with "adding graphic after 3 recs", works great, but i've still missed my prize, so Ill try again.
My db is set up as a view only db. Users start there search from a static html page, the reuslts are returned along with a link back to the search page.
Admin is via login, which uses the standard html.pl for searching, adding ect.
The only screen that is common to both is html_view_falure, which returnes the standard search form, which I don't want users to see, so I thought of this, which by my success rate of writing Perl is probley not correct.
At the top of view_failure, should I put this.
print qq|
<$font><P>There were problems with the search. Reason:
<$error_color><B>$message</B></FONT>
<BR>Please fix any errors and submit the record again.</p><a href link to return to search page here></a>
|;
else
the standard view_failure form herewould that work.
thanks
