If you're using MySQL, you can use the DESCRIBE tablename command. There's a pretty straightforward (and easy to find) section on the DESCRIBE command in the MySQL documentation. -Original Message- From: DiZEM PGC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 8:11 AM

You can concat to the 1º filter statement the 2º. ex: SELECT * FROM atable WHERE (fieldname = fieldvalue) AND (fieldname2 = fieldvalue2) For the user to search twice in the same field i think you have to use the LIKE operator instead of the = and use the % in the string as wildcard. ex: 1º
