texte = If WebCatalog2 for NT is in beta, consider this a request! I am very excited about the enhancements, especially math functions, multiple databases and user-defined databases. I have had to do a lot of shoe-horning to fit our 4 databases into one. One question: among the enhancements, are you planning on conditional field display, such as [if text1 is null]Display [text1][/if text1] The reason I ask is that I would like my results page from a search be tailored to each record, so if I have an HTML link for certain records, I display the link line, otherwise don't... ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re:2nd WebCatalog2 Feature Request Author: WebDNA-Talk@smithmicro.com at INet Date: 12/8/96 1:58 AM >Can't wait! Any idea when a beta is slated? What will be the upgrade policy >or has it been determined yet? I've been giving betas to customers who ask, and our upgrade policy for WebCatalog has always been 1 year of free updates.
