Pedro,

I've gone for your suggested option which works fine, except that I am
having problems getting fresh data to show when I move from page to page.

For example, I have a list of packs containing reading material for courses.
If I go into pack 1 (id=200) I see the articles for that pack. If I come out
into the pack list and go into any other pack, I still see the articles for
pack 1, regardless of the id.

Each pack page should generate a fresh database query.

I suspect that the template needs to be recompiled each time but can't be
sure.

Any ideas?

Cheers

George (knocking off for the day - back online at 0600GMT)
