No, nowhere is a "KEYWORDS" parameter.  What I did find though, is that if I
change the form "method" from "post" to "get" everything works...?!!!

I'll go with the "get" as I have to move on to other things.  I'm not
concerned about security for that one, as it is [only] for the site admin
(who is behind the firewall, the resource is protected with a security
constraint and the URL is a SSL URL).

Thanks for your interest and reply.
Best regards,
Markus

You can set a parameter "QV" to 1 to have anlgform print out all the
parameters sent into it.


Somewhere in your form or CGI process it's reading a parameter named
'KEYWORDS'. Check your server logs for additional information
(including the value) that might help you track down where that's
occurring.
