texte = Why can't WebCat deal with two compatible search parameters for the same database field?I have a database with a date field in it. I need a forms-based search to have the following parameter so it won't retrieve any records earlier than today's date, so I put this in the form:I also need a selection list on the form so users can select all the records with an exact date (if that's what they choose to do). The following code creates a popup list with a blank first option. The rest of the options are dates which appear in the database as today's date or later:When I do NOT set a date in the popup, WebCat selects only the dates from today and later. That's what I would expect. But when I set the popup to a specific date, WebCat should give me all the records with that date - it should NOT give ne zero records.Why is it that WebCat cannot deal with this search when I try to set the date with the popup?Any date I set with the popup is already restricted to the same range of dates defined in the hidden field. The popup should simply allow me to select a specific date - within the range of dates allowed by the hidden field.But as soon as I try to use the hidden field to select a specific date, I get zero matching records - which is impossible ... but that's what I get.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html
