Hi,
I wanted to know if any knows of a tutorial or tips on how to do something.
I want to know how I could make a small form on the top of a page that has recordset info on it and be able to change values in the form, click submit and have the page reload with the new data. There is something like what I want to do at www.firedispatch.com under the log menu. On the site you can change a few different options, press submit, and it will show the data in a new list form. Is there any tutorials or extensions that would make this easy, or would I have to do some hand coding?
Thanks for all your help,
Spencer

If you know how to set up a search and results page already then you know enough, simply create the search and results function on the same page. So the form submits back to the same page, on which you have a recordset for the results based on the input from the form. Set up the recordset with default values that will show all results and use th form to refine the results.
