Search by layout is a great new feature in version 2 of 4th dimension However, you have to be carefull when using '#' sign in your fields. Eg. I was tring to do a search by layout for a department called #3 Zinc Grip. I typed #3 Zinc Grip into the department field, so it should give me all of the entries in that department Right?....WRONG! It gave me all of the entries. When I looked at the search by formula screen it said Department is not equal to 3 Zinc Grip Obviously it took the # to mean 'not equal to' and since I didn't have any departments call '3 Zinc Grip', It gave me all the records. There are two ways to get around this problem. Either use No. for the # sign, or don't use search by layout, (make your own search dialog using variables). --Eric Layne
