Trouble with Finding in ValueList

[macamaca]

I have a data entry layout with a field showing a custom value list as checkboxes.

I have a find layout with the value list as a popup menu.

Performing a find using the popup menu works OK for some, but not all items in the custom value list.

Anyone got any ideas?

What are the custom values?

[macamaca]

Just a plain text list.

I have found that even though I referenced the same custom value list in data entry and find layouts, I used two different fields.

So, using the same field in both layouts seems to have fixed the problem.

Yes, it would.

Just weird that some finds worked others did not.

That's probably because those values were in field-a in some records but not field-b.
