>If I do a search and it doesn't find anything, the Search fields are all reset back to the initial values. I think originally it preserved the entries. Is it possible to keep the latest entry, so you can refine the criteria?

When I do a search and no result is found, the form refreshes ok with all the values. Can you give me a pattern when this is not the case?

>Also unrelated observation - if there is only one Category entry in the Categories list for the forum, can the drop down default to it?

This is done.
