if else for previous page

Hi Ross, thanks for answering!

I have two areas that contain (with minor differences) the same information. One is accessed by the public and one by the administrator. The search function works the same for both; the public from a single form element to search for an exact record; the admin search is from the "list" page using the "contains" variable. Search result shows the same information with the public search showing only one record and the admin search result showing one or more. Once a record is found, both can access it by clicking on a link contained in the record displayed. What I wanted to do is this:

When the public accesses the record via the link, they would have the option (a link) to return to a "main" and or back to the search page;
When the admin accesses the record via the link, they would have a link that would take them to the "list" page.

I don't want the public to be able to return to the list of all the records but only back to the main and/or search, page.

Don't worry if it's not a viable option as I have (at this point) simply made a duplicate "detail" page with the options for each. I was just trying to "streamline" the process.

Thanks again for the great support! [;)]
