Correct. If it's not possible, then that's my problem. I read that thread posted above and that's one of the two ways I'm displaying a custom page. It's curious that a PHP-based product disallows PHP. Is this to protect the software functionality and stop us from screwing it up?

Is it then possible to simulate what I'm trying to do using vb language? I have a database of ekgs and images listed with several columns of info for each item. It does a search for items in a certain category and displays them, then when you click on it it does another search query to grab the info and display on the page.
