Hi all,
Where do i start..... Okay, Access DB with a table called "scripts"
Fields:- Id,Script,Category,Url,Description etc...
and a Table called "Categories" with fields : 'Id' and 'Category'.

I've established a relationship between the field "category" in the both tables.

I have a search box, (which works fine)i can filter the records easily enough to search script name or keywords etc.., by passing the form variable. BUT How do i do it from a link only.

For example in my menu, a link called "Browser Scripts" is to open a page (browser_scripts.asp) to display records from the category "Browser". But not knowing a great deal of SQL im finding it a bit of a struggle, and UD only gives so many pre defined options.

Is it using the URL variable and if so how?
The Help files aren't very specific on this one.
I hope i explained this clearly enough. Thank for any advice.

this may sound like a DUH solution...but did you think about using goto detail page behavior for this, have it submit a URL parameter, like: Category=Scripts showing all scripts or Category=Tutorial showing all tutorials, just switch the filter from form to url param. should work fine.

With kind regards,

Thanks Dennis, it most probably is a Duh!! question. But thats what the forum is for <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

I will try it the way you say, and thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

Well, no joy here.

I can get all scripts to display easily, just add a recordset with no filter.

But I still cant get only "Browser" related scripts to show up. I know this can be done using the list/select form element like in the tutorial, but when i try and pass it as a URL var then it displayes the last record in "category", NOT "browsers", and the page is blank.
If anyone wants to take a look at how i am doing it, i will share the FTP info so you can have a look at the DB etc..
Or am i just Stupid??? (Don't answer that)<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I managed to sort this out. Yippee <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

I just buried my head in an SQL book and learnt advanced queries.
Created a WHERE statement and variable for the recordset, and it worked 2nd time.
