Hello!

What I am trying to do is have dbman print out an alphebetized list of all the entries into one field of the database. This may be hard to understand and I will try to explain it better now. I have a database with a bunch of fields such as company name, category, contact name etc. What I want is to have a list of all the categories on the main search page and have no idea how to do this. I know it is probably a very easy question for some of you so please forgive my lack of knowledge and help me out.

Thanks in advance!
Kevin

Hi Kevin, you may have some luck in searching the customization forum for 'alphabetical'

There have been several threads on creating an alphabetical index of records.

Hello again Karen!

Well I found a mod called List Categories and Give a Count in the resources area that says it will do exactly what I need to do. However when I try to install it...after following all the directions as best I know how I receive the following errors:

Error Message : Error loading required libraries.
Check that they exist, permissions are set correctly and that they compile.
Reason: Literal @fields now requires backslash at /mnt/home/c/chamber/dbman/html.pl line 200, within string
syntax error at /mnt/home/c/chamber/dbman/html.pl line 226, near "$option<"
syntax error at /mnt/home/c/chamber/dbman/html.pl line 235, near "<"

My HTML.PL file saved as text can be found here:
http://www.hanfordchamber.com/html.txt

The code for the mod was added in sub html_home
The specific mod I am using can be found here
http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/Mods/listcategories.html

and is the Category names come from the records
For use with the "validate records" mod version.

Thanks in advance for your help!
