right thought I did that... anyway, will give up for now. Instead, will just call regular functions serially with the *The_Controller_to_go_to_Next* in the vars. That way will still be reusable until I figure out how to write it more elegantly. Thanks Dave! Alex -- Resources: -

Not sure how your suggestion would be implemented Ron. Can you please give details? Requirement is to have robust, flexible grid search to obtain a value, more functional than just a dropdown select. So by using a separate function with grid search to select a person, users can browse through

Interesting. If I want to pitch in, I would say its better to put them in a table like they have it in reddit_clone example and have a search box separately. grid as I understand is better for management of things. For example if someone wants to post something and that person wants to manage
