Thanks Kevin, that helped me get in the right direction, but I have a
problem submitting the form, and a problem with the more-list itself. 

Problem 1:
The problem with the forms are setting the fail and success pages. the
[search-region] displays one record per page. each page has a form for a
user to fill. if the form fails, I need it to reload the current page,
and if the form submit is success, I need it to go to the next page in
the more-list, I can't seem to get the navigation working.

Problem 2:
In the more list itself, it shows all the records (pages) as buttons in
the list. (due to setting the template as a submit button) I only need
next and previous.

Maybe I am approaching this whole thing wrong. Maybe I should do them
all in fly-pages instead. If I do that, I still want to make it
look/feel and act like the more-list... I have tried it, an can't seem
to make the mv_success_href to work!

Any advice??

Thanks
Rick
