Hi,



I wonder if anyone has experienced this behaviour before.



I am using the code below to produce a 'bulleted' list thus:



Medical

-------Doctors

-------Nurses

-------Dentist

Finance

-------Accountant

-------Banking

-------Financial Services

etc..etc..



On the web page a button is clicked and a pop-up window appears that runs 

the below code and produces the data shaped list.



This works fine, but on the same web page I have another button that does 

the same things as just outlined but uses 2 different tables from the same 

database. The first button selects Career Choices the second selects 

Interests.



If I click Career Choices first that list appears no problem, but, if I 

then click Interests the pop-up window appears but the content seems to 

crash and I get a server error page after the script times out. This 

behaviour is the same which ever link I click first, the second link fails.



does anyone know if there are any limitations on using data Shaping in 

this way?



many thanks and happy christmas.



ian
