Managing Database Records
8-8 Managing an OmniForm Database
3 Select a field name in the
Field Name
pop-up menu.
This is the field that contains the information you want to find.
All the fields in your form are listed here.
To simplify searches, give each field a unique name. Otherwise, you
will have fields named
FillText1
,
FillText2,
and so forth, making it
difficult to determine which fields contain what information. See
“Defining Objects” on page 6-16 for detailed information.
4 Select a condition in the
Condition
pop-up menu.
A condition describes how to look for information entered in
the
Value
text box. For example, suppose you entered the words
Franich & Halsey in the
Value
text box.
The following bulleted items show the results of a search using
each available condition option. Proceed to step 5 on page 8-10
if you already know which condition to select.
•
is equal to:
find an exact match of the
Value
entry.
This finds records that have
Franich & Halsey
and nothing else
in the
Customer
field.
•
is not equal to:
find anything but the
Value
entry.
This finds records that have anything but
Franich & Halsey
in
the
Customer
field.
•
is greater than:
find records of greater value than the
Value
entry.
This finds records that have entries in the
Customer
field later
in the alphabet than the entry, for example,
Franklin
or
Gallatron, Inc
.
