Michel and others, Here's a wierd one for ya. I created a index and a meta_table. Then I deleted said index and meta_table. Now all of the reports show that the meta_tables are shifted over one in the listing. For example, where my meta_table list goes: first_name last_name id then when I ask for first_name I get last_name, and when I ask for last_name I get id. Not good. I am going to try to reindex the Catalog and see if that fixes things. Any ideas on why this happens? Michel, I have some really interesting situation in using the Catalog in a constantly pounded production environment, email me and I'll fill you in if you would like to know. All my best, -- Jason Spisak webmaster@hiretechs.com
