Hope this helps. Paste it into a results action. Let me know if the code has been corrupted in transit.

My question is, what is the easiest way to display the text value of the from and to location values other than iterating through an array and looking up each individual value? From: Jesse Parker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Question of joins I'm not sure I'm following you. I think you have a file that contains an "array" of values, and you want to do a join-like operation with your DB for reporting purposes. If this is the case, you can probably use <@FILTER> to get only the relevant records from each array. If you post more detail, I will try to give you the filter expression. I think you might be happier in the long run if you put your list of values in the DB, instead of using the file to store these values - that way you can use a simple join, and it's likely to be much faster than any file-based operations. -----Original Message----- From: Wolf, Gene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Witango-Talk: Question of joins This is probably simplistic and perhaps more of a SQL question than a Witango question but I'm going to ask anyway. *laughs* I have an application set up where a user selects a from location and a to location, from a dropdown list, of something they are shipping. The dropdown list is populated from a file and the resulting from and to location codes are recorded to a database record in separate fields named shipfrom and shipto. No problem so far. Everything works perfectly. Now, in reporting I want to show the description of the ship from and ship to locations. I can read the records into an array and look up each location from the database and then display the array when done but that seems inefficient, especially when I have to use a for loop to process the array. Is there some way to join two different fields on the same lookup table, in a Witango search action, in order to pull different text values for each of the fields?
