I know exactly where the problem is. the form is triggering the 'if $grouping' block instead if the 'if $submit' block. The sql never runs because it doesn't get called. Perhaps I need to repost my question to express the problem more clearly. Its thanks to prompts from you and Jason I understand why its failing but I still need a way to make it work.
