properly) but you got me on the right tracks :)
Cheers
Will

When using funky and and or clauses in the where clause, it's a really
good idea to use parenthesis to control the flow. It won't muck up the
query, but you may not necessarily get the results you want...

My suggestion when mixing AND OR is to wrap everything in parentheses.
This way there can be no confusion.
SELECT left(subject,20) as newsubject, * FROM advert_details
WHERE
(
town = '#form.towny#'
OR
(
natpaid = Yes
AND nationwide =
Depends on what you want it to do. Right now, it's saying, select this stuff
if town is the same as the form.towny AND category is form.category OR
select this stuff if natpaid is yes and nationwide is yes AND category is
form.category.
My guess is that what you want is:
select this stuff if
