Calculation - finding

[Ben Ball]

I have a calculation field that returns text. This text being simply "Yes" or "No".

I wish to find all the records with "Yes".... but when pressing a button that enters find mode and enterering Yes into that field. The find will not perform... this happens for all my calulation fields....

How can I overcome this?

Hi Ben

Should work, unless the result is given back from the calc' as number and not as text?

Hi SØren, Thats what I figured... but I do have the calc returning as text.

It is a calc not returning a value in the context of the main table though.. i.e "Stock" table is the main table I am using the calc that is in the context of a seperate table. Stock 2 (obviously a copy of stock table).

I am not sure if this should prevent me searching??

I'm afraid your last explanation doesn't make much sense to me!

I have time tomorrow if you wish me to look at your things live, like we've done previously??

SØren,

Thanks for the offer.. I will have to re-itterate.. I no longer have the access to the netgear program...

Alright you colophon says fmp 6 is this true?

As it is, would I have quite a bit of harddisk refurbishment to get enough space to re-install the classic envionment again, which I hardly ever have use for!

Perhaps you could install VNC server (even Tight VNC comes free as I recall it??) at your end of the matter then, and mail me the ip-number, you're sitting at. It works Netgear'ish!!!
