Thank you for your response and I am all for reducing code duplication. I tested the above code and the probem is if you just select Color or Just Select a Price or do a combination of a Color and Price nothing happens. If I Select a Model — it returns all the articles that have a Model in that field and does not distinguish between them. Also, selecting a Model and either Price or Color or Both resturns the same article list.

I apologize but your original code actually did the trick. When I altered one of the variables (changed Price to Year) because I had changed it in the site, I missed a place in the code you provided which was jacking everything up. Now, the search form returns all of the expected results. THANK YOU.

With the reduction in replication, this will also make it much easier for me to add additional fields.

Fine then, glad it helps!

Then weird again. It should only generate a list of attributes from adi_gps variables. What if you delete the linebreaks:

<txp:etc_query globals="variable" data="{?Color,Model,Price}">
  <txp:article_custom {$?({?Model}|Model='<txp:variable name="Model" />'|)} {$?({?Color}|Color='<txp:variable name="Color" />'|)} {$?({?Price}|Price='<txp:variable name="Price" />'|)}
  />
<txp:else />
  <txp:article />
</txp:etc_query>

Ah yes, I see, that’s because adi_gps assigns it an empty value. Try to replace it with data=”{?Color}{?Model}{?Price}”
