I am running into a glitch that I can't remember how to work around.

Trying to search a fileMaker data source on an email field.

The "@" character in filemaker is a wild card, so I have to search on the
literal characters by enclosing the search criteria in quotes to force fmp
to not look at the @ in the email address as a wild card.

When I do a search in fmp, I would write it like this: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(note the quotes)

In tango (4.0.136 mac) I do not have the option to quote value in the search
criteria action. I am experimenting with adding quotes around the <@ARG> but
no combination seems to be working.

Here is the tag I need to quote: <@LOWER STR='<@ARG EMAIL_ADDRESS>'>

Tried these options with no luck:
<@DQ><@LOWER STR='<@ARG EMAIL_ADDRESS>'><@DQ>
"<@LOWER STR='<@ARG EMAIL_ADDRESS>'>"

I suppose I could add the quotes to the <@ARG> before the search action, but
I'm hoping there is a simpler solution.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thx!
