Hi
I now am using Asp runner and am very happy with it. Question -- one table I have lists company names, country & type of company etc. I have created a dropdown box in the advanced search where someone can select the type of company i.e. catering and this works fine. Would like to give people the chance to select this option prior to even seeing the database. Thought I would be able to just copy the url of the database when it was listing all catering companies and then hyperlink to it but the address is not unique if you see what I mean. Is there any way round this.
regards
TP

Sorry its not an answer, but this is basically what i think im requiring.... before you even get to the database table view you have a menu where you can select particular records you want to view in the database! Basically querying the table via a link (sorry just i want to know how aswell).

Hi,
if you need to get a direct link to Advanced Search results do the following.
Open your generated ..._search.asp file, find this line there:

<form method="POST" action="Cars_list.asp" name="editform">



and replace it with:

<form method="GET" action="Cars_list.asp" name="editform">



Open your pages in browser and do the search.

Now you can copy the search URL from browser's Address box.

After you copy the URL you can change the ..._search.asp file back.
