Thank god for google !!! I found my own answer. Guess it's all in how u phrase your question - after about 300 search attempts on google - I finally asked the right question. Anyway - I found my answer in creating a searh page and search results page, using a drop down box to select criteria and pass that criterai to the results page filtering my search results. (usind dreamweaver and php). If anyone else is a novice and could use a basic tutorial on it - here is the cool link I found and will be modifiying for my own use: [a href=\"http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/programs/mx_search/mx_search03.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamwea...x_search03.html[/a] I will make it to "Wizadry" yet !!!!
