I don't know that it's a "stack" problem. I can think of two ways to do it: 1. Use the zany xml-rpc stuff in Javascript to do the query. This sounds like a nice idea in theory but I don't know how compatible it would be. Anyone played with this? 2. Have your lookup butt submit the data and set some magical flag that says "I'm only searching, don't act on this data", which has the side affect of committing your input to session data or whatever, so that it can be used for default values the next time the page is loaded You'd do the lookup when sending back your default data. Make your magic variable a hidden input and have the 'lookup' button re-set that hidden variable and then call submit on the form. I've not explained that very clearly, but hopefully you'll get the gist of it. Ask if you need clarification. HTH, James. -- James Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
