Hi,

I'm making an index of users on a site which one can navigate through A-Z. I
am trying to get each letter from the A_Z list of links to only appear if
there are entries under that letter. I've done this but it's pretty query
intensive and I'm wondering if anyone's got any other ideas.

Currently I've created a list 'a,b,c,d' etc which I loop into a query which
selects records where like #list#%. I then output the letters if there are
any records from the query. Problem is, this gives me 26 queries which (if
there were a large userbase) would be a nightmare.

Any ideas?
cheers
