Newbies Rich Young Posted June 3, 2000 Newbies Share Posted June 3, 2000 Is there a way to create a find that will find any record by the first letter of the field? Example: I need to find all records beginning with the letter "A" in a certain field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: I need to find all records beginning with the letter "A" in a certain field. You could start with a find that uses "A*" to find anything that begins with A. However this may not work exactly as you want so as a second idea you might setup a calc which is Left ( fieldname, 1 ) to get the first character ONLY of the field, then do a find on that field. That calc can be stored so the find should be pretty quick. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Senior Filemaker Developer http://www.inthescene.com mailto:[email protected] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
