oilman Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi all I have a flat db that track our steel material. I am trying to do a exact find on two fields. The fields are called Grade and Description. I can do it manual and it will work perfectly but a script finds everything. Example:I am looking for description "1"plate" Grade "2HGR50". The script is like this Enter find mode insert calculated result["unquie2",""="&"description&" "&Grade" perform find This returns 1"plate 2HGR50 1 1/4"plate 2HGR50 1 1/2"plate 2HGR50 but manual is returns 1"plate 2HGR50 thanks in advance Lionel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugo DI LUCA Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Lionel, I'm even surprised that your manual find returned what you said... A manual find on the description field should end with all 3 results too IMO. May be you should switch your find process to a new calculated field that removes the quote with something else, say "-". ex NewField = Substitute(descriptionAndGrade, " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
