Problem is that when I search from a form within the database for a = "=E4", "=F6", or "=FC" (yes, those German umlauts), the search returns no = results. But if I append a record with those umlauts and then search for them it = works. I know this is not a big thing, but maybe someone can get me on the = right track. Somehow today my brain is just not working the way I want..... Thank you all in advance.
