That's easy, just do a search with a search parameter something like this: neFieldNamedata=something.ne means not equal (it's in the documentation) FieldName is the name of the field you're checking data tells webcat this is a search parameter something is a value that could not possibly be the exact value of that field in any record in the databaseFor example, nenamedata=0 would retrieve all the records in the database except for the records whose name are equal to 0. Since it's very unlikely that anyone's name is 0, this search will retrieve all the records in the database ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions 808-737-6499http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
