Kinda OT: Field matching in Appleworks DB

Apr 13, 2005 2 Replies

It's sort of On topic, it does deal with a model database... 8-)



OK, I don't know quite where to go with this, but I know there are a few Mac users here. I'm working with a model database in Applworks 6. I've got it pretty much figured out, except for trying to "match" items. Using "+, =, , etc" is a snap. But how about something such as "field contains?" Boolean logic wasn't something I ever studied and the Boolean arguments presented in the "match" dialog don't help at all. Here's my f'rinstance. In the KIT field I've got F4Us listed as "Vought F4U-1 Corsair," "Vought F4U-5N Corsair," "Vought F4U Corsair IV," etc. Now in my old version of MICROSOFT Works, I could do a search on the field and select "Item containing XXX" enter F4U and get all my F4Us in one match list. How do I do this in Appleworks?

Try one of the comp.sys.mac.* newsgroups, such as comp.sys.mac.apps. Just because there are a few Mac users here, doesn't necessarily mean any of them will know the right answer.

Thanks, Wayne. I'll check it out. Just thought I'd try the "easy" way first. 8-)
