Newbies RayRay Posted October 19, 2000 Newbies Posted October 19, 2000 Thanks - it worked like a charm.
Newbies RayRay Posted October 20, 2000 Author Newbies Posted October 20, 2000 I am trying to set up a database for videotapes and have set up each record to be a videotape. Since each tape(record) can have multiple programs on it, I have set up individual fields for each program (i.e. program01, program02, thru program50). I need to find a way to search for a tape(record) that could have a program in any of the 50 'program' fields. For example, 'Ski Trip' may be a program on several tapes - it may be in field 'program05' in one record and in field program45' in another record. How can I search for all records that contain 'ski trip' in any of the 50 'program' fields? In other words, I'd like to be able to find records that match criteria across a number of different fields. Thanks.

Then just perform your find on this one field. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Consultant Database Resources mailto:[email protected] http://www.database-resources.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
ROBVOIGT Posted October 26, 2000 Posted October 26, 2000 How do you separate fields using paragraph return?
