Hi all, I've got a Search box on my form that will let the user search the active table based upon whatever the current sort order is (the currently active index tag). For example, my Customers table.
I want them to be able to enter either a Customer Number or a Customer Name, and have it search the table based upon whichever index tag is currently selected. If they enter a digit (for example, 9), I need to know if it should be treated as a digit (for example, Customer Number 9) or a character (for example, "9 Industries") depending on what the currently active index order is. Using vartype() for the fields Name or Number wouldn't be good enough because the current index tag may be comprised of more than one field that aren't all numeric or all character.
