[ic] mv_action not doing what I expect...

[Steve & Patti Getzinger]

Paul,
  I have found more success not using white space in names for other than display. So a dynamic menu would list something like Harvest Basket and that is what everyone would see but I would
create a field named catsf (category search field :)  ) and enter HABA in that. Then my searches are based there and not the category field but I display the corresponding category field. Of
course that can be altered anyway you want. White space in urls gave me fits way back in MV 3 days which is when I started using this additional field stuff.
