The Help says clearly that the radiobuttons "Anywhere in the field" does not apply to Date Fields.
3. Select one of the How to Find options. Exact means to look for only what you typed. Searching for a last name of Roberts will only find Roberts, not Robertson. Starts With means to find records where the information starts with what you typed. Searching for a given name of "B" will find all names that begin with B. Anywhere in field means to look for what you typed at any position in the field. Searching for "abe" would find Abe, Abel, Mabel, Faber, etc. (Note: Anywhere in field does not apply to Date fields.)

However, it does NOT work for dates. Probably because dates are not stored as dates but as some numeric value that is then interpreted for display/print per your choices in Customize... right? --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ----- Original Message ---- From: Bert van Kootwijk <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, September 27, 2011 3:11:50 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] On This Day Report Because in Query by Example you can only search for a date : Before, Equal or After.

I did try the other searches. Just wondered why the query by example did not work. Maybe I was missing a setting? --Paula in Texas <snip> Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
