VFP 6 Form created by Form Wizard

[button71]

On a form created by form wizard
- using the [Find] button
- I cannot see any Memo fields to choose to search in from the drop down list box.

Is this as designed - is there a way to add them to the list and search in them?

Or do I do a LOCATE in the memo field from another [Search] button?

Thanks

William

Sounds like it's by design, and I can well imagine why that might be.

Searching in memo fields is a bit of a specialized activity and can take many forms so it would be difficult to make generic.

Hopefully someone who actually USES the Wizard-generated forms will chime in with better news, but someone like that may be hard to find. :-(

Dan,

Thanks for that.

I've put a [Search] button on the form ( in addition to the [Find] ) and written code and it's now working to my satisfaction.

I can search 3 terms - either AND or OR ing them
