Or would the missing header field cause webcat to parse the database incorrectly in some or all situations, thus resulting in some bizarre responses in a search?Oh yeah, and what do you think would happen when there are more header fields than database fields? Would this screw things up in a different way perhaps? Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
