Of course in this scenario this could be solved by adding a field to the business.db that contains a updated total employee count that would be modified by the add/delete in the employee system.... BUT, assuming that you cant do that or since this is just an example you could use the following complex logic. Search on the business.db on your criteria and return a results list that just seeds your variables: [Text]Businessrank=[/text] [Text]Businesssku=[/text] [Text]Busrerank=[/text] [search business.db&on something] [founditems] [text]indexvar=[index][/text] [search db=employee.db&eqbusiness_skudatarq=[sku]] [showif [indexvar]=1] [text]businessrank=[SKU]|[numfound]|[/text] [/showif] [showif [indexvar]>1] [text]totalvar=[CountWords Delimiters=|][businessrank][/countwords][/text] [listwords words=[businessrank] Delimiters=|] [showif [index]\2] [showif [numfound]>[word]] [text]busrerank=[sku]|numfound]|[busrerank][/text] [/showif] [showif [index]=[totalvar]] [text]busrerank=[busrerank]|[sku]|numfound]|[/text] [/showif] [/showif] [/listwords] [listwords words=[busrerank] Delimiters=|] [hideif [index]\2] [Text]Businesssku=[businesssku]|[word][/text] [/listwords] [/founditems] [/search] [listwords words=[businesssku] Delimiters=|] [Lookup db=business.db&value=[word]&lookInField=sku&returnField=business_name¬Fou nd=] [/listwords] I believe this is fairly solid. It should give you a variable with the skus to the business.db sorted from largest to smallest which you could then use to do the lookups in order. Like I said, this is UNTESTED, but I believe the logic is fairly sound, give or take a syntax error here or there... I just threw it together to get us started. Anyone?
