Whoa. I accidentally did it -- it does work. :) Very cool. I didn't have all the pieces together exactly right at any given time before. It looks like every reference to an object has to be a long reference. I was incorrectly using short references before. Anyway, I ended up with this: on startup put $QUERY_STRING into theTerm put "" into buffer if theTerm = "" then put "No query submitted." after buffer else start using "mystack.mc" repeat with x = 1 to the number of cds of stack "mystack" get fld "title" of cd x of stack "mystack" if it contains theTerm then put it &" - " & fld "author" of cd x \ of stack "mystack" & cr after buffer end repeat stop using "mystack.mc" end if if buffer = "" then put "No titles found." into buffer put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr put "Content-Length:" && the length of buffer & cr & cr put buffer end startup So you have to loop through everything, checking each field and card, one at a time. The stack is fairly small so it doesn't take too long. Now I have to add in looping through all the fields, but now that the foundation is there that shouldn't be too hard.
