"call the cgi from a results page through an inline or javascript?" could you elaborate a bit more on this bit? i think this might be the best way to go... thanks.

yes, pearl and cgi.

i would like to recieve data into one record from another web site that is using cgi to submit their forms. at the same time they submit the info to their db, i would like to have the same fields submit (-new or -edit) into a filemaker db. any experience with this? thanks.

hello garry, i tried -max=all and no max and fooled a bit with the sorts with no luck. did you have any success? thanks.

thanks for replies...almost have it... i used the java script which does exactly what i had intended from the beginning with one issue: the results seem to display randomly even when i change the find and sort method in the URL...also, some duplicate and they do not list according to any -max settings (or any logical way that i can see)... current code: <script> curr_bus_id = "blank" ; inv_tot = 0 ; [FMP-Record] if (inv_tot == 0 ) { curr_bus_id = "[fmp-field:record]" ; curr_bus_name = "[fmp-field:title1]" ; inv_tot = [fmp-field:count] ; } else if ("[fmp-field:record]" == curr_bus_id) { inv_tot += [fmp-field:count] ; } else { document.write(curr_bus_id + " " + curr_bus_name + " " + (inv_tot).toString() + "<br>") ; curr_bus_id = "[fmp-field:record]" ; curr_bus_name = "[fmp-field:title1]" ; inv_tot = [fmp-field:count] ; } [/FMP-Record] document.write(curr_bus_id + " " + curr_bus_name + " " + inv_tot + "<br>") ; </script> </td> </tr> </table> <font size="2" face="arial, verdana"> [FMP-LINKPREVIOUS] Previous [/FMP-LINKPREVIOUS] [FMP-LINKNEXT] More... [/FMP-LINKNEXT] </font>

thanks for your replies... both inline and fmp-record work except for counting the number of records seperately or each occurance. each attempt i make at either summarizing or totaling the "count" field simply results in displaying "1" count for each record when there are different counts for each title: current code [fmp-inlineaction:-db=emailfriend.fp5,-lay=web,-max=25,-sortfield=record,-sort=descending,-token=fmp-field;title1,-find] [fmp-record] [fmp-field:record][fmp-field:title1] [fmp-field:count]<br> [/fmp-record] [/fmp-inlineaction] what i'm i missing?...thanks.

I need to display what I thought was a simple search result using CDML...Although I have pieced together a crude solution; how can I display the fields "record" "title" "countoftitle" as individual results while searching through the entire database? eg. Total Found Count: 768 0051 How to Succeed in Business 23 0102 Business Plans 19 etc... thanks.
