Hello webbo,
I tried this, and it does work, but the google search box on my site is black- (even though I specified a white background in the google code)
The major issue I have is that the code inserts right in between the two blue boxes in search.asp, right after the search for, and before the search in.
Is there a way to make this work was where the google search for is the first one up? Thanks very much for any assistance.

DO you have a link to your search page? You could include the inc_google_search.asp file anywhere on the search.asp page.<

It sounds like you've added the following code in the wrong place in your search.asp file
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_google_search.asp"-->
<%
Can you show us a link to your search page or a text version of your search.asp file?<

Hi Podge,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried several times to reposition it, and I get an error, such as unexpected end statement, or something like that. Unfortunately I'm FAR away from being an asp pro, so it's not really clear to me where I can put the code ;)
I just loaded the current version of the forum so the code and settings are all (mostly) default- I was thinking the instructions webbo listed could have been for the prev version. As I mentioned the background was black, but I was able to change the settings and fix it.
I also noticed (w/ mod) I get a listing of all the forum categories right afer the search box (House Cleaning Tips Stain Removal Start a House Cleaning Business) It does not do that w/o mod, so I'm concerned maybe it breaks something else.
Looking at the html of the current page, I see this code below right under the google search box, so I'm pretty sure it's breaking something else too. <option value="1">House Cleaning Tips</option>
<option value="2">Stain Removal</option>
<option value="3">Start a House Cleaning Business</option>
If you can take a look and give me some advise on getting the google search first, above both the blue boxes I'd really appreciate it!
