As you work with find requests, keep the following tips in mind:
1 You can save and reuse a find request by creating a named search. For
more information, see “Saving a find request (named search),” next.
1 Pop-up menus, radio buttons, or checkbox fields are initially excluded
from a find request. If you select a value for a find request and then change
your mind, you can still exclude the value.

of displayed records, beginning with 1 for the first record in the current
set. To display all records in the database, click on the Default button
bar, or choose Show All Records from the Organize menu.
