Find Returns

[Ubo]

Using 5.5 web companion, have a simple product dbase with ID, description and sub-category fields. When I attempt to use a value list in the find screen I get no records found. No value list is derived from the values in the description field and obviously mapped to this field in the find screen. Any thoughts?

Also when it does return a find (this only works on the ID field) or on entry of partial free text in the description field as opposed to assigning a value list when searching, it always opens the search results in a new browser window when running the session inside a frame. Is there any way round this?

Thanks

Are you using Custom Web Publishing (cdml) or Instant? Are you attempting to select various values for the 'Description' field to return multiple records? If so, you will need to use the '-lop' tag with a value of 'or'.

All the best.

Is the value list based on a relationship? They don't work through Web Companion.

Thanks for your replys, just using Instanst as opposed to CDML and simply using a single value from the non-relational value list to try and select a single record.

On the same layout when published if I search using the Type field radio button selection the correct data set is returned. Repeating the same operation using the type field as a pop-up list returns no records.

Thanks again

Let me guess: you want to perform OR searches -- in the one field, search for value A or B or C etc.

Can you perorm the serach in the client, ie, in FMP not through the browser?

Vaughan,

Works fine in the non-web FM version of the database
