Thanks Paul This is fine for doing the search for the end but I'm really looking for a solution to do searches within numbers too 0123456781234 so if I did a search for 567 I would get this record - but bare in mind that I do not know where it appears in the number I didnt want to go down...

Hi I have a database set up with text fields for phone number inputs. The problem I have is that they are often inputed with spaces. So (1) 0123 0123 4567 or (2) 0123 01234567 or (3) 012301234567 or (4) 01234567 could be an example I wish to do a search of parts of this (567) so that if...

Hey lebisol I don't see how that helps me? What I am ideally looking to do is to stop the enter being used when in search mode to find. The way I have it setup is that is a layout with all the search fields and when you click on find it goes to this page and then you enter in which ever field...

Hi All, Don't who is familiar with this new outlook 2003 functionality (see below). Is someone with the correct setup sends an email that expires to some one running outlook 2000 or XP could it still expire? Thanks Simon ------------------------------------ "Help protect your company...

Back on to the many-to-many relational example. Is there a better way that you can think of of adding a person to a company than having the drop down list of companies in database (since if there are 1000's then this is quite tedious?) Thanks Simon

Hi all, When you do a search in filemaker it automatically does a search after you press enter in a field. Is there any way of after it performs a search to direct it to a different layout. I have it with a find button besides the fields (which does this) but its too simple to simply press...

Hi Yeah I worked out how to add a script to a textbox but the problem is if some uses tabs to get to to the cell it wont do anything and if I force someone to click on the cell then how do you enter text in that textbox? am I missing something?? Thanks Simon

Hey there I'm not sure I get what you mean with "u can turn any field into a button" if you assign a field as a perform script then how do you enter text in it - except if you tab to it which would mean that it wouldn't be clicked on? Thanks Simon

Arhhh I see now! Yes have learnt a lot BIG thanks....duplication is my next step now I have many - to - many figured out. I wrote a previous post about a whether as you are entering a new contact you could run a search. Is there anyway of capturing the input of a field to run a script? I found...

Hi Is there anyway that anyone knows of as you are entering a new record being able to search. I want to try to stop duplication so as someone is entering a new contact for example on the left after each entry it is throwing up a search on the side? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Simon

Sorry Im not sure I get this. You have added radio buttons (which I changed to checkboxes) on the first contacts layout but selecting so that there are more than one company selected for Kelly for instance they dont show on the company listing. It works only for single companies? Have I missed...
