Well, I'm making a page to do limited searching of the database. To keep it simple I just want to search by title, author, ISBN or copyright date. So, I need to input the user's choice, limit it to one of the options and pass the supplied parameter to the query. I prefer to not use Javascript. No need to disable stuff as that was merely a misdirected thought. I think Ashley's suggestion should work. My problem has been to understand the workings of the form inputs. Now, I'm just anticipating some acrobatic feats to be able to pass the author parameters to the query as they are comprised of two fields (first_name and last_name). But, I think that that can be done, at worst, by doing a different query just for the author. TIA. Phil -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
