Buggy debugger?

2005-07-11 Thread Timothy Miller
I still can't figure out whether I'm doing something wrong when I try to use the debugger, or if there is something wrong with the debugger. Eric suggested there's a flaw in the debugger, but his comment was ambiguous. I'm on version 2.5.1 in OS X. If there is a problem with the debugger, I'd l

Hi, my name is Tim. I am a hair-ripper. I haven't ripped for, uh, three minutes. I'm stuck on this one. It's probably an obvious mistake but I've checked, triple checked, etc. find patientName in field "patient name" works fine. It finds the one record I expect it to find if I comment out

I was hoping for a final clarification and consensus regarding command-F "Find and Replace." The thread died before I got on. I read various reports of "Find and Replace" speed in version 2.5.1. Oh well... Not wishing to be tedious -- Is there consensus that "Find and Replace" in version 2.6.x
