Are you saying it's not finding items that contain apostrophes? Does the apostrophe show up when you list the values of the [formvariables]? Are you sure it's not a curly-quote in the original database field (FileMaker does smart-quotes that often screw up display and searching).Grant Hulbert, V.P.
