Lisa, You would have to do some ARS magic. Add a DO field in the same position as your dropdown. On Open window with $OPERATION$ = "Query" do a Change Field Active Link to Show the display_only_ARS_Magic field. On search you will need to build the qualification in your hidden Query Bar (field ID 1005). 'DropDown_Field' LIKE "%"+$display_only_ARS_Magic$+"%"
Just remember that they will undoubtedly mistype the value and complain about the inaccuracy of the system which you will get with the Advanced Search button also. My syntax may not all be here. This is just a rough draft. John J. Reiser Senior Software Development Analyst Remedy Administrator/Developer Lockheed Martin - MS2 The star that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

The reason is: when they select the drop down list (list A), they have to first select 2 other drop down lists first (to get the data for the list A) But I don't want them to have to do that when they do a search. I think I know that answer to this and it's "Use the Advance button."

I want to lock down some of my character fields (by switching them to Read Only) on the modify screen, but on Search, I'd like this field to be open for searches so that my users don't have to use the Advanced button to do searches.
