Hi,

Are you searching for the exact word "Plays", or is there a variable called Plays against which you are trying to match a value? If it's the latter, having the single quotes is teling it to search for the literal. If you are setting the value of plays in a higher call, eg. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Plays', Play_titles)">, your if expression would need to be "which_table == Plays".

Hope this is helpful, as it is a mistake I am always making!

ciao! greg.

Thanks for that... I am trying to compare which_table to the exact string Plays. Plays is not a variable/argument/integer/..../whatever, I am just trying to see if the string that is returned from one of the fields of my form (which_table) is equal to the string Plays. <snip> Tim: tim.hicks@iname.com
