Is <dtml-call REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']> equal to <dtml-in sqlSearchcust3>

No, if only of a syntax error in the dtml-call: <dtml-call REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']> should be <dtml-call expr="REQUEST['sqlSearchcust3']"> Now in this case they _may_ be equal, but only if sqlSearchcust3 lives in the REQUEST object. It may (and judging by the name probably will) also live in the object database. This is available from the _ namespace, which also includes REQUEST, but not from REQUEST. hth Rik
