Howdy,
I have a problem using the EXTERNAL() operator in a search menu
qualification. I set up my qualification like this:
'Status' = "Active" AND (EXTERNAL($536870930$)) AND
(EXTERNAL($536870931$)) AND (EXTERNAL($536870934$))
Yesterday when I tested this, it worked. (At least, that's how I
remember it.) Right now, when I open the same menu, the same menu's
qualification now looks like this:
($7$ = "Active" ) AND (EXTERNAL('536870930')) AND
(EXTERNAL('536870931')) AND (EXTERNAL('536870934'))
Note that the single-quotes around 'Status' have changed to dollar
signs (i.e. field ID for the current form), while my other fields'
dollar signs have changed to single quotes. Obviously the menu no
longer works as I had intended.
If it makes any difference, the "dollar sign" fields refer to
display-only fields on a display-only form. Note also that the exact
same qualification works in a table field on the same display-only
form.
I have tried re-writing my qualification and saving it again, but now
it changes every time I open it back up.
Any ideas what is making this change, and why?

Thanks in advance,
Bill B.
