The search string would look like this: [code]h[black]XX[/black]p://www.imdb.com/search/name?name=FirstName%20LastName&role=[navy]tt#######[/navy][/code] In most cases the movie <-> people relation will exist so the IMDB movie ID should be known (like when I call <Edit> from the Cast & Crew tab of the Movie Edit window). Question is if the information can be passed somehow to MagicScript. My current experience is that people search results are rather vary - even in cases where a 1:1 match should be possible. [maroon]Update: the failing 1:1 matching I could improve a bit by using exact name search: [code]#WEBQUERY#=hXXp://akas.imdb.com/find?q=#NAME#&s=nm&exact=true&ref_=fn_nm_ex[/code][/maroon] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
