I have never really done searches by cites or states. about 99% will be in
New York
and tell you the truth i will never use it.
I cant wait to get up to trying to create contest sensitive select boxes.

thank you for bringing that up. I am trying to think if we have ever needed
to do searching
by first or last name. Most of the time I wont have a last name. I
probably have not used a last name in a very long time.
however, I do plan on starting to aim at the smaller landlords and so i
think you are right. I should include those feilds but also also them to be
blank.

Thank you Stawberry. however something happen today that is going to cause
my usual work to take much longer.
but this by far is the most important thing to me as of this moment. I wish
I knew how long it would take to get my site up and running if i stopped all
other work and gave this site 18 hours a day. could it be done in a couple
of days?
I am in uncharted territory. I have no idea what to expect on how hard this
is going to be.
