It turns out we just misinterpreted your original request about blank fields. WebCatalog has always worked exactly the way you describe as above, but the only thing you need to add is the rq after data in your search form. Get rid of the [Blank] stuff; that's only used when you literally want to search for fields that are blank.Your original form was just fine, except that it was doing an or search instead of an and search.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
