I thank you all for the guidance. I will be looking at all of this soon. I have also been fighting a battle with response times from my server. This is not the fault of CF but rather a problem with our carrier. We are tied into Cogentco and AOL has unexpectedly pulled one of their servers from the pipe. This has caused a major hole in the web that is affecting response times such that even the most minor change takes several minutes to make. This has added greatly to my frustration. I hope none of you have this problem.
Cogent Service Slows to a Crawl Peering with AOL shut off Written by Justin Beech Cogent customers received the bad news that recent slowdowns may have been caused by AOL shutting off its peer (direct connection) to Cogent. No explanation was offered for why AOL might be doing that. 12/19 According to Cogent NOC support staff, the Cogent and Level 3 attorneys will meet on 12/22 to discuss the week-long outage caused when AOL shut off a large bandwidth pipes for peering between Cogent and AOL. 12/17 - Letters from Cogent acknowledge the slowdown: Dear Cogent Customer, We are very sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with your connection. The issue in this case is with AOL. We have had an ongoing peering relationship with them based on a connection of 2 OC-12s. We recently upgraded these connections to include 2 OC-48s to accommodate our significant traffic exchange. These connections have been up and running smoothly for 2 weeks now. Overall, we've spent over $100 thousand to create this robust peering infrastructure. This week, however, AOL announced a unilateral decision to cut off all our connections. This announcement came as a surprise to all involved and the reasons behind it remain unclear. We are struggling to make sense of AOL's decision and are working around the clock to try to get it resolved. If, by next week, you haven't seen some improvement, feel free to call us back. We want to assure you that we are trying our best to stay on top of this critical issue and give our customers the best service possible. We're aware that this is affecting some of our customers and we are working to improve things as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience. We understand this affects your business and we apologize for the temporary performance lapse. We encourage you to contact the AOL Customer Support number at 800.827.6364 and/or AOL NOC Support at 703.265.5431 to register your complaints towards AOL.

It is a very small testing database and I wrote a search entry form with dream weaver with one field. This field should search on the title field of the database and return results that contain the entry. I am a raw newbie here and contemplating beating my head against a wall on this. Well my query does not seem to work. I get all the records returned every time not just the ones that contain the search term. Here I was thinking this would be easy. Boy was I wrong! Here is my code Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
