Can you give us an example of what you are seeing so we can diagnose it?

While we are on the topic of sorting etc, can someone
explain how the "START WITH" option works. Everytime
I put something in this field, I get back no records.
What do I put there?

You will still get the 'just a moment' message if
the field is indexed
and you use the = syntax. To make the best use of
the index, specify
the field and put in the same value for 'start with'
and 'goto'.

No. "Sorting" is basically a matter of iterating
through an index. If
you only want one value, you can use the "=" syntax
in the sort.
Searching is considerably more flexible. George
Timson's point was that
sorting is often all you need if you just want
records having a single
index value. Unfortunately, I chose a field that
wasn't indexed, hence
the "just a moment" comment from Fileman.

So are you saying that sorting by a single given
value
is the same as a search for that same single given
value?
Our intial discussion was how to create a "set",
which
is done by create a template. Can that be done
with
this method?
Thanks

Yes, but SEARCH does not affect how the file is
traversed. SORT tells
FileMan how to go thru the file. Many times
users
can find everything they
really need by SORTING. As in
SORT BY: INTERNAL(ENTERED BY)=44
