Hi Scott,
Glad that did it.
Now, a favor - could you forward my email to the filepro email group?
My email client is set to use HTML which Bill's program scrubs.

Here is another technique:
Since an equal sign (=) on the value section matches any character, specifying:
DHL      =
(That's DHL followed by a few (more that one) spaces and an =)
will return only those record that have blanks after DHL.
(Boy I really had to rack my brain for that old technique.)

I'm not remembering a basic....
 
Using a selection set, can you force an exact match
 
For example, I want all companies that are named "Ace
".
 
If I do a scan on field 1 (company name) I get everyting that starts with
the characters "ACE".
 
 
 
I don't want "Ace Hardware" or "Ace Lumber", I just one the companies that
have a field number 1 (Company Name) equal to "ACE
".  Is there a way to get that using a selection set or do you need to use
processing table?

Scott
