I am not able to do! Thanks in advance for cooperation Mauro Try this... Create a calculation field with the following calculation: Left (textfield, number). Replace the "textfield" with the name of the field you want to search on, then replace the "number" with the number of caracters that you want to search. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Senior Filemaker Developer http://www.inthescene.com mailto:[email protected] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
