I am probably over-complicating it, thats always a possiblity. However the reason I can't is because the second search that actually gets used will be dependent on which of the 4 tabs you select. But the first search needs to stay the same.
IOW for example 1. Search for Departments based on partial department name 2. Select Department from returned list 3. Click on Car Tab 4. Get the Unique IDs of every person in the list of selected departments 5. Get all the cars for all the people returned from step 4 adding a date range filter. 6. Double click on a car to view that car's details. BUT At Step 3 you can actualy click any of the following Click on Car Tab Click on DoorKey Tab Click on Employment File Tab Click on Room Tab in all 4 instances it would have to do Step 4, and other then sending the results to different second searchs (Car/DoorKey/EmploymentFile/Room) it would always be the same that you are taking a list of departments and generating a list of people's unique IDs who are in those departments. But since you only go get the people list from the departments when you click the tab, and at the same time it automaticaly submits a search for whatever that tab is about, it is a problem as when the, say, car search runs, the people list will not have had a chance to be populated. --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Perhaps you are over-complicating this.
