But the problem seems to be solved as the paging needed the $Count1 wich was not being supplied because I was debugging the code without enough entries in the database. Once I had a larger base of info I was able to see what the problem was. The code needed to determine how many instances there are in the db of the search criteria and it was not getting that; it was only getting the LIMIT of the query. So I added a few lines to determine the total for $Count1 and it all works fine now. :-) or until I find another glitch. ;-) Thanks for the suggestion. -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
