DW8 search box result page asp

Question

Hi all,
I build with success a search box (text box) that search in
my db.
Now when I dont write a sting in the text box and push the
submit buttom,
the result page schow me all the results from my db. I set my
default value
parameters to %, this gives my all the results.
I'm wondering if there is a solution when my text box is
blank the result
page dont show all the records?
I can do thes by setting the default value to someting that
not match in my
db, like ----, but this is mayby not verry professional.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advanced for your help!

Hi Dave, thanks for your help!
Yes, I had sorted out ;-)
For your information, you don't need two search fields. Make
for each
field in your db a variable and point for each variable to
the same
form field name, change the AND to OR. This works great!!
Happy New Year!!
