I actually built 2 tables from scratch with a complete and unique 
set of columns in each for the task I have to accomplish.

distributors table & zipcanada table

Then I just wanted to pull records from those tables, based on 
FORM search or other types of searches built into the pages.

My problem is actually solved now, what I had done wrong was the 
way I was using the form values, probably cause I didn't understand 
how IC was using them once the submit has been done.

Thanks to RTFM, I found my answers. Awesome doc you have there Kevin, 
it's really nice and easy to read.

I had to do some poking around, I thought I could use the value name 
like this: [myvalue]  in a SQL query. Turns out it works with [value
myvalue].
Is there a better way to do this?

Could it be something to add somewhere in the doc?

Thanks Kevin, I will also have a look at the HIDE_FIELD line, I didn't
know 
about it. Probably will help me out at some point ;o)
