Hi Mike,
I was trying to make it easy for the user to see only the files scanned on a given day. What you are saying is that now I have to teach them how to enter 01082008????.pdf
I can just see the look on her face now!
Isn't there a way to limit the files that come up initally?
Bernie

Bernie,

In the filename edit box, you can put any legal wildcards to filter what you want.

eg:  0??012008.pdf  would bring up:
       011012008.pdf
       003012008.pdf
       010012008.pdf
       006012008.pdf


       00101200?.pdf   would bring up:
       001012001.pdf
       001012002.pdf
       001012003.pdf

               *12008.pdf   would bring up:
       002012008.pdf
       002112008.pdf
       003312008.pdf

and so on. The file Filters is just for extensions, anything other than that, you must enter as suggested.

Is there a way to filter the file names such as:
07012008*.pdf
so that only the files from that date will show up?

So far only *.pdf works but brings up too many files requiring the operator to work a little harder (poor operator) but the customer is always right, right?
