Hello all,
	I have been trying to get a search to work all day.  First let me 
explain.  I have a two tables my products table and a zip_zones table with 
two columns zip and zone
I need to do a search on a user inputted zip to return which should return 
the zone that it's in then do a lookup on the products table to match the 
products in that zone.  The docs say no nested searches allowed, so I have 
to figure out how to do it with SQL

<psuedo code>
<input type="text" name="zip_code">
<input type="mv_sql_query" VALUE="
			select * from products where zone = (
				SELECT zone from zip_zone
				where zip = zip_code
				)">

All I get is an error usually stating "No match for zip_code" or invalid 
search string "zip_code"

What am I missing?
