It's impossible to tell what is going wrong from the code you submitted, but my guess is that your code is failing and causing a popup dialog to appear and pausing channel execution indefinitely. Eventually the request times out and the channel gets restarted. Could it be that the mDBFyear variable is not populated properly?
For information on this topic and ideas on how to troubleshoot such problems please refer the Hanging Channels, or Channels that Get Restarted Often section of the
Common Problems page of the FoxWeb documentation.

The single quote was really there in my actual code. I AM using v2.0 but my existing code from previous ver remains. Is this ok? now my html code looks like this:
and I've changed the fwx to reflect this :
bSortOrder = Request.QueryString("bsortorder") and my result is

Your code looks for Request.QueryString("sort"), but you are using the html_out variable to return content to the browser, which is probably an indication that you are using FoxWeb 1.29c. The Request object was introduced in FoxWeb 2.0. For older versions you must use the FormField function, or manually parse the CGI.QueryString property.
Also, your code is looking for a QueryString field called "sort", but your URL contains the sort order in a field called "bsortorder".
And by the way, you are still missing a single quote at the end of your html_out string after the </A> tag.

the ";" was becasue it continued on the next line, I was just giving you the text I am concerned with. My code in qq1.fwx is as follows:
bSortOrder = Request.QueryString("sort")
IF EMPTY(bSortOrder)
bSortOrder = 'price'
ENDIF
SELECT lmca_nbr,status,remarks,price;
FROM &mDBFyear ORDER BY &bSortOrder;
INTO CURSOR results
when the user clicks on the hyperlinked "STATUS" a timeout occurs, does something look suspect to you?

You are not giving us enough information, but it does seem that you are missing a quote at the end of your string. Also, what's the semi-colon for?

Thats what I figured but I must be doing something wrong becasue I keep getting a timeout. Can you kindly tell me my syntactical error in this line?
bsortorder gets defined in qq1.fwx(prg)

As you can see, the link points back to the fwx file. When it receives such a request, your script should re-create the page, sorted by the field specified in 'sort=xxxx'.

does it make the fwx call itself again?
Sent by FoxWeb Support on 09/28/2004 06:15:09 PM:
You can turn the headers into links that point back to the same fwx file, but pass an additional query string field back to the server. For example:
<a href="myList.fwx?filter=XXX&sort=status">STATUS</a>
Obviously this requires a round trip to the server, but in most cases this is how it is done. I have seen sorting performed on the client, but it involved the use of advanced JavaScript, XML and XSLT techniques. The client-side technique involves more work than the server-side method and it does not work with all browsers.

I want to be able to include clickable sort header titles to my output. So if a user gets results returned like you see here
STATUS NOUN CUST OFFICE EDD JOB PRICE4VS5639 OPEN TONER CARTRIDGE BOWEN VSOSR 10/1/04 DT1C3VS0 62.004VS5621 OPEN PRINTER, LASER BOWEN VSOSR 10/22/04 DT1C4VS0 578.00
I want them to be able to click on STATUS header and it will sort the data by status.
Easily done?
