Hi
Sorry misunderstood the question. I haven't done this stuff for a long
time but found the following function that seems to do what you want...
function TCustomProcessFunctionality.GetVarArray: Variant;
//Breaks incoming values
var
TempList: TStringList;
Counter : Integer;
''%'+findstr+'%''
or...
or even do a brute force scan of all records in code.

Yes that would work for searching two fields, but do I do n

Would you be better using filters and OnFilterRecord?

I am trying to make a generalised routine for searching a client dataset (it
searches alpha fields matching a user supplied string and positions on the
next matching record).
So far I am doing this using the locate command
Hi John
.Locate('Field1;Field1', VarArrayOf([Variable1, Variable2])
Works fine for me (all over the place but just with std TDataset)

(ie all where Datatype = ftString) - I can build a string listing the wanted
