Ok thanks...

But does that include building a SELECT query in php and displaying the results in a table?

(The reason I want to do that is because the Inventory field does not appear in the Views field list)

Have a look at the Views Theme Wizard.&nbsp; In recent versions, it is a multi-step form that uses the values from step 1 to generate form step 2.  Step 2 (or sometimes step 3) has no submit buttons on it, but its content is the result of the previous steps.&nbsp; The last step then is the display, and there's no reason why you can't use form fields of #type markup to show just HTML that was built off of the previous steps.

Not sure if I'm on the same page as you, but I need to have a form

that has some input fields and a submit button, and when it's

clicked, the form passes the input to itself (or another page) and

then displays a table of results from a query (that I've created).

Any idea?

Maybe there is a clean way to recycle most of FAPI if you don't need

to save anything in _submit but if you'd just like to produce some

output based on form input?

eg. you've 2 fields and the form "landing" page should display the

product (the landing page may still be the form path itself).

If there is such a technique that let you intercept $form_values and

$form_id outside _submit _validate and display output accordingly I'd

be glad to know.

Otherwise I'd really enjoy to see a _display hook that in spite of

showing the form or redirecting somewhere else would just have access

to $form_id&nbsp; and $form_values as _validate and _submit but would

output something else other than the form.
