I'm not sure what you are trying to do (just rejoined list) but 
sometimes, setting the value "mv_data_table" in the form that is calling 
the minimate pages to the tabel you are using ...

<input type="hidden" name="mv_data_table" value="mv_metadata">

... anyway, when I was trying to link into minimate I found that I had 
to set a lot more values than I thought I would ... and sometimes in 
places I didn't think I would have to.  I usually found clues as what to 
set at the top of the minimate page I was trying to use.

Anyway, this is all speculation and my last post on the issue.  I hope i 
didn't cause more harm than good ;)
