    Need help with Like or Regular Expression

    SleepDepD, Thanks for the quick response. Sorry, forgot to say the comparison is case-insensitive. Problem is that I'm parsing on the position of the underscores and will be discarding them so TYPE____JOBDESC_Filename.tif with 3 addit underscores would pass the test but defeat my parsing...

    Need help with Like or Regular Expression

    I'm processing files scanned into a drop folder. The drop filenames are in the form: TYPE_JOBDESC_Filename.tif TYPE_JOBDESC_Filename_Sm.jpg Where TYPE, JOBDESC and Filename are variable length and the filename extensions are illustrative but will always be 3 chars. I'd prefer to use the Like...

    find "not including" text

    In Find mode, you can enter a condition as a formula that evaluates to True or False and in that formula you can use the same functions as in calculated fields. The formula can also compare fields in the record with values in variable fields. It's a powerful tool! Paul Bent Northwind IT Systems...

    calculating a bank balance not working !!!

    I don't know! Approach 96 was the first 32bit version and is 8 years old now. It was bug ridden and soon replaced. I'd recommend you buy a copy of SmartSuite 9.7 or later. Paul Bent Northwind IT Systems http://www.northwindit.co.uk

    Generating Weekly Reports Using Query By Box

    I don't advise using Query By Box, especially with dates. It's a bit buggy. Create a named find on the view: On a form based on the table to be searched, in Browse, from the menu: Create | Named Find/Sort | New | View. Click in the date field and enter this as the condition: >=@Today()-7...
