Sorry Christiaan
I get to understand your theoretical explanation but probably you're just a bit too concise for practical purposes. I.e.: could you give me step by step instructions on my private email if you have some spare time?
thanks

You understand or you don't. You don't know how to do what?

Be aware that Database Find & Replace works on the literal expression in the field. So I guess this particular name is not included exactly in this form, perhaps as "F. White" instead. The best way to fix a name is probably to look it up in any item, double-click the name in the little name table in the detail window. You then get a window for that author, where you can change the name for all publications that contain it. You can also choose Author as the grouping field, and edit the name in the group table.

Hi!
I am trying to replace a wrong first name initial in the author field of my database, with no success.
Example
White, F. and Black, R and Doe, J. and Harris, B.
I'd like to change the F.
My steps:
edit-find-database find and replace.
field: author
find: White, F.
replace: White, G

no success (it says nothing found)
thanks
