That's not the intended usage scenario, no... but the system would allow that... it's designed to make building actual search forms easier, I just haven't _built_ search forms into the Members onTap plugin for instance -- the pages just "display all" and then you can sort or optionally page through the results or if you happen to be a programmer and _know_ how it works, then you can type it into the url. I know eventually I'll need to build search forms (for members if not roles and permissions) into the Members onTap plugin, I just haven't gotten around to it. I remember when I mentioned this at the CFUG in Dallas the group manager made the comment that you wouldn't want to use it because it's a security risk. What he didn't understand (I explained of course) is that the page should already include any filtering the security model might require, so if a user can't see "bob jones" in the list for security reasons and they type "bob" in the url, they _still_ can't see "bob jones" because the security doesn't allow it. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
