cheers for that,
im ashamed to admit it but i use dreamweaver

(im currently learning php (im on lesson 4 of sams teach yourself) but i can do so minor editing.
I currently have:
"" mysql_select_db($database_sendto, $sendto);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM sendto WHERE description LIKE '%%%s%%'", $colname_Recordset1);
...................""
the ........ is query limits etc.
how would i edit this to use full text search (which is on the column description).
Kind regards andy
