Andrew,
First of all thank you for your response.
I did search around the forums and only found stuff about what I'm
having problems with, long search times. I'll do some more searching.
Do you have the URL's to the examples from the forum? If you don't have
them handy don't spend any time on it.
I do most of my scripting using Perl. I do very little command line
scripting but with some examples I should be able to figure out how to
adjust the scripts for myself.
Thanks again,

Hi Chris,
Well, I can tell you that at the OOoForum.org site there are numerous
examples of ways to set filters on forms . Using a text box for entry and a
button to apply the filter is covered specifically, as is the use of combo
and list boxes. A number of these threads include example database and
script files that you can download and checkout on your machine.
Unfortunately there are some difficulties with the site that might make
your
finding these entries rather difficult, but these are being addressed.
In the mean time, there are a number of example files that I can make
available for you to download. These range from very simple filtering
techniques to one that is rather advanced.
My question would be which is most appropriate for you - all use StarBasic
scripts called from user triggered events on the form.
If you could give me an idea of your comfort level with scripting already I
would be able to suggest which of the examples might be most appropriate.
Let me know here and I will follow up with the links to the example files.

Is there a way to set up a filter that can work with a text box and
button? I'm trying to avoid the find record button and want to be able
to have a text entry box on a form that will filter the data for the
record entered into the text box when the button is pushed. Is this the
right way to go about this or should I be trying to use a query with the
text box and button setup?
