Maybe you can have several different fields, one for each type of service.Put yes in the field only if the person has that service. Then it's a simple matter to use a showif's inside your founditems context to show or hide the specific data related to each of those fields:If the field has yes in it, show the related data:[founditems][showif [field]=yes] stuff related to field 01 goes here ... [/showif][showif [field]!yes] this option wasn't... message goes here ... [/showif][/founditems] ================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
