Yes....the query we create by default with the DRWizard only recognized a single cat...you would need to rerun it to add the second "criteria".

Can I not create a URL that narrows the product display based on Category 2, just as the above URL (http://www.7173parts.com/mall/dynamic.asp?fmcategory=arts) narrows the selection based on the Category field? Or does your previous reply suggest that Category 2 is not currently recognized by the Database Results Region?

Do you have FrontPage? If so:
You would need to edit the template and rerun the FrontPage database region wizard to modify the SQL to incorporate a second "where" clause for the second category. If you don't know how to do that, I would look for a good book on FrontPage and make sure it has at least one good chapter on the Frontpage Database Region Wizard. If you have dreamweaver, then you need a book on Dreamweaver Server Behavoirs. |

Now I'm looking to reference Category2. Simply revising the above url with a 2 after Category and specifying a valid Category2 name brings up all products. How would this be done? Thanks.

I'm not getting that to work. I'm using:
http://www.7173parts.com/mall/dynamic.asp?Category=arts (there are two "arts" products in the Shortcat1 column) and it loads all of the products just as when I click the search button without a keyword. |

Use this hyperlink.
http://www.mywebsite.com/mall/dynamic.asp?Category="name of your shortcat1" |

I would like to use hyperlinks to navigate my product categories instead of the database results. What is the proper syntax to link to the dynamic.asp page showing just a single product category with a hyperlink? Also, can I add additional categories (sub-categories) to the products.mdb table in order to further refine my search abilities?
