There are two problems with Filemaker you could be running into
1. for searching Filemaker ignores everything after 1st 20 characters and
also it does contains searches by default.
You might want to make a calculated field in FMP that is password and email
but strip the @ symbol from the email so
Logincheck= Substitute(email, "@", "") & "_" & password
You could even get rid of the "." the same way
Then you would be searching for the logincheck you would have to manipulate
the witango input to match.
What is happening it looks like is a Filemaker find name and name@ and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] are all going to find the same thing in FMP.
You either need a logincheck calculation field in FMP to search on or you
need to make sure you have a full email address entered.
Easier to do the 1st than the latter.
