This fixed it. Thank you very much. The big challenge of tags is stopping and rechecking everything to make sure the tag is constructed properly.
It seems that if the page blows up with a NullPointer or some other drastic, low-level message it means, if all else is equal, that a tag rule or syntax that could not be expected by the tab library has been violated. More ordinary errors, like using "columns" instead of "cols" for an attribute name in a properly constructed tag, get nicely trapped and reported. Do you agree?
Thanks again, Bill

Hi, if you want to display a HTML select where the user should see a list of categories try with:
<db:select fieldName="request_category">
<db:tableData name="select_categ" foreignTable="categories" visibleField="category" storeField="category" disableCache="true" /> </db:select>
I use disableCache if I have different controls with the same datasource on the
same page.
You have always to embed <tableData> <queryData> <staticData> in a "embedding
data tags"... select, searchCombo, comboBox, dataLabel, etc.
Cheers
