multiple searches

[zapata]

I've got a database with a field called "job #" which is a five digit number. How can I search for multiple job #'s at the same time? For instance, say I want to search for three job numbers --58347, 59315, 60301--and have Filemaker return 1 or 2 or all 3 records if they exist.

Thanks.

You can use the New Request feature. Enter find mode like you usually do, enter your first job # and then choose New Requests from the Requests menu. This will add a second request, much like a second record, in which you can type the second job #. This will create an OR find. Keep entering new requests as long as you want and then click the find button to locate the job #1 or job #2 or job #3.
