Thank you Eric, that is great, it produces the right results ! I'm seeing some other enhancements I can add (for example turn the field name into a tiddler so the list generated would be something like: [[field name]] = field value ). Is there a place I can go to read and learn this how to manipulate this? I will start on TW5 and the $list widget. Thanks again,
