Thanks Teddy. It is more that latter that I'm looking for. I have successfully done the autosuggest before and at first I thought that is what was being asked for but once I started getting into a displayed table needs to be updated and displayed on the fly by the criteria being entered into the search form. I'll take a look at the dynamic filtering link. I was just having a hard time coming up with the right search term in google I guess.
