texte = Hi!I'm having a problem with searching blank fields (and I have indeed consulted the blank/empty fields portion of the manual). Here's the search code:[search db=test.db&eqorderdatarq=[ordernumber]&wagroup1datarq=[blank]&group1fi eld=firstfield+secondfield+thirdfield+fourthfield]I'm passing [ordernumber] from a previous page. In my test case, I've got one order for which there are 11 entries in the db. In one of those entries, some of the fields are blank (as in nothing between the tabs in the db), but in all of the other 10 cases, the fields have data.When I run this search, I'm getting all 11 entries returned to me, even though only one of them contains no data in firstfield, secondfield, thirdfield, and fourthfield.Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?Thanks for any suggestions,MauriceMaurice Rickard | GreenMarketplace.com: Director of Creative & Production | Natural Products for you http://www.greenmarketplace.com/ | and your planet.------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
