That can be hardcode in unless there are cases where there will be less than 8 results. Then it would be more likeHere's your top [showif [numfound]>8]8[/showif][hideif [numfound]>8][numfound][/hideif]Better yet, if [max] might change, then use[showif [numfound]>[max]][max][/showif][hideif [numfound]>[max]][numfound][/hideif]Good luck!Sandy Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
