Online identification keys

[Emery, Rob]

It's not really an identification key, but you ma be interested in how we
allow users to select pest data sheets from a database.

Thanks for all your replies on this. There is a plethora of different
ways of doing mulitaccess keys on the web and so I guess means this is
something that the ideal method still hasn't been settled on yet.

I am particularly interested in the interfaces that are used. One that
wasn't mention was this one:

http://www.reticule.co.uk/flora/content/SEARCH.ASP

Which uses a simple web form and is remarkably effective.

Can't help feeling that things are often more complex than they need to be.

Thanks,

Roger
