Hello colleagues!

I want to expose a question in a particular mode:

Last year I talk to a Mrs.Mariana, who is secretary of a firm I do not remember now, and I need to contact that firm tomorrow.

I have a file with hundreds of records and in the memo field of one of the records I registered 'Mariana' word. So it was easy to find that register, as I have a program which can search which records have the text I typed (%&Mytext%, which has 'Mariana') to search operation. It works very fine.

But I would like to highlight the text searched, like this:

TelaCadastro_zjid6q.jpg


Is it possible to have the searched text highlighted? (Because some records have tens of lines in the memo field).


Thank you,
SitesMasstec
 
I personally wouldn’t use arrow keys to change the readonly setting. I would use an EDIT button, together with SAVE and UNDO buttons. Perhaps a NEW button too. This makes users more aware of what they are actually doing.

Regards, Gerrit
