A B C D (and so forth)and in the Roster.tpl file, your search would look like:[search db=../db/Roster.db&Bondtype=num&[formvariables name=_&exact=F][getchars start=2][name][/getchars]=[url][value][/url]&[/formvariables]startat=[ startat]](the wrap is due to email)That will put a list of ABC links on the page that when clicked will search the database for records that begin with that letter and present only those records.No form is involved. -Chuck-__________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Rice
