Search the Database Records
It is not hard to find information when you only have a few records, but
depending on your database, you may have thousands. OmniForm
makes it easy to find the information you need quickly.
To search records:
1 Choose
Search...
in the Records menu.
The Search dialog box appears.
•Select
Customer
in the
Field Name
drop-down list.
•Select
is equal to
in the
Condition
drop-down list.
•Type Franich & Halsey in the
Value
text box.
This dialog box illustrates why it is important to give fields a unique
name after you create them. If you had not named the
Customer
field, it would appear simply as
FillTextn
(where n is a number)
making it difficult to decide what to choose.
