Hi there folks, I'm new to programming and I'm stumped by the term %s showing up in code that I'm studying. It appears to deliver all the content requested from the database in the order that the query receives it. My question is why use this term instead of a variable? Any sharing of the thinking process that goes into such a decision would help me immensely. cl ["sea elle"] cle@iEverett.com :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: C.L.
