Hello,
I'm writing a report with several fields such as ID#, Phone No#, Last Name, First Name etc. I want the report to only display the records which have special characters such as
( ' ) or ( - ) etc. in the Last Name or the First Name fields.
Can somebody guide me to the correct way to get the required output?
Thanks
 
you could put a formula in the suppress part of the section expert which is like this

instr({Field},"'") = 0 or
instr({field},"-") = 0
