Ahhh interesting. Well at least you know the answer to why this was slow. It does a "contains". I searched my notes and cannot find a way to change it to anything else.

Search Property Table 'Table Name" Search->"Column Name"->"Value" seems to conduct the search via a "Contains" argument or logic. I.E. if I search for "745" , the pointer will go to the first record that it encounters containing "745". So if I have 25 records such as 1745 10745 745 7455 F0745 ... Z1745 The command will point to 1745. If I do the search a second time, it seems to start at 1745 and will return 10745 and so forth. In this case, for me to find record "745", I have to conduct (3) searches to get to the record I need. Is there a syntax to change the Property Search command to be an equals instead of a contains? I could not find any parameters concerning this. My requirement is that a user can open a form, (no scrolling regions or list views fit this particular case) and have a button that allows them to move to any particular record. From there, they need to be able to move forward or backward by use of the Next / PREV eep. I attempted using the logic to do an Edit command for each record movement but it was not responsive enough. I found that sorting the Edit command by the column the user will search on seems to speed the search up dramatically. However, now I need the Equal logic not the Contain logic. Thanks, Bob
