Newbies wollber Posted January 30, 2001 Newbies Share Posted January 30, 2001 Hi folks, I have the following problem: one database, every record should be unique as judged by the autovalidation feature for the text field "oligo ID". The database contains one record with the "oligo ID" entered as "T+". If I try to enter a new record with the oligo ID "T-", Filemaker tells me that I should use another ID because this one is already taken (not unique). It looks like Filemaker is comparing in the autovalidation feature only the ASCI characters and can not differentiate between - and +. How to solve this problem without writing plus and minus? Merci.

LiveOak Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 In Field Definitions --> Options --> Storage Options, change the indexing from "English" to "ASCII". With your current indexing, special characters such as "+" and "-" are ignored. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
