Thank you Murray for your kind response.  I am not entirely sure how to do
this. I suspect if I create a simple form with First and Last Name Fields and a Submit button and then POST the content of that form to a 'processor' page
this is a good place to start???????

That would surely work.

But I am not entirely sure how to insert those two items into the query on the processor page. Can you point me to any documentation or tutorial that might
help me along with this?

The search form posts its results to the processor page. The processor page retrieves those form values from the $_POST array, and uses them to formulate a new SQL SELECT statement, identical to the old one, except with the inclusion of the first and last name values from the $_POST array in the WHERE statement.

I am sorry to be such a bother with this. I have a handful of books, but none
of them touch on this and I am at a loss.

Thanks again for your kind helpfulness.
