Re: [ranchos] Re: Research Helps


 
Victor,
 
Thanks for that last tip.  That will save me lots of time if I can avoid getting that message about "if you only enter a last name, you must not enter another field"  or something to that effect.

Angie,

I found that the percentage sign does act as a wildcard, at least in
some instances.  For example if you enter a last name and want to
apply a filter in Events, and/or Year Range and/or State, if you leave
the First Name field blank you'll get an arror message.  But doing
that same query with "%" in the First Name field you'll get back a
recordset.  Have I saved my honor? -- jk -- ;-)
