Hi Brian I think you should be able to do this with a simple table field qualification. Say you have a form with a field containing the string of ISBN values in a field called ISBN List, and a table field pointing to your book records which have an ISBN data field.
Normally for a table field you would have a qualification like ( 'DataTableField' LIKE ( $CurrentFormField$ + "%" )). In this case you need to turn the qualification round, like $ISBN List$ LIKE (( "%" + 'ISBN') + "%" ) To allow the search to ignore the dashes, you would need a 'shadow' field on your book asset record (set by a filter) containg a stripped version of the ISBN. Then you could change the table field qualification to ($ISBN List$ LIKE (( "%" + 'ISBN') + "%" )) OR ($ISBN List$ LIKE (( "%" + 'ISBNStripped') + "%" )) It won't be the most efficient query, but it should work HTH David Sanders Remedy Solution Architect Enterprise Service Suite @ Work ========================== ARS List Award Winner 2005 Best 3rd party Remedy Application tel +44 1494 468980 mobile +44 7710 377761 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk On 7/24/06, Sokol, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been asked to replace a Filemaker Pro database with a Remedy > application.
