texte = >From a database with a field of values, how do I find the ten greatest values (i.e., the top ten). Simply adding a descending sort and max=10 in the search command seems to return the first ten values that satisfy the search criteria, not finding all the values, sorting them in descending order, and then showing me only the top 10.I feel like I'm missing something obvious... I don't know the range of the values, so I can't use any range comparison.Thickly,Kevin Lippert NY, NY ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
