Title: Search Function in EVO Maintain Database
Post by Vman on 09/22/05 at 05:32:24

Unless I am missing something, there does not appear to be a search function in the EVO version of the Maintain Database program.  This would be very useful.

There is a limited search by index.

For instance, if you look at BKCMACCT, the second box from the left at the top of the window says BKCM.ACCT.CODE by default. If you start typing a Code in the left-most box, it will take you to the first line that contains that character. If you click the drop-down bopx you can change the index to BKCM.ACCT.ZIP and then type in Zip Code in the box.

Not all fields are indexed, and it cannot search within a field, only by starting character(s).

HTH.

Pretty limited.  With the Classic Version, you could highlight a field and then enter a search string.  Much better.

In both cases, you can only search by the index field specified.

O.K.  I stand somewhat corrected.  You can do some searching with the EVO version.  I guess I just feel that the Classic screen layout is easier to understand/use.
