I think you'll get this kind of enqiry answered
better in the use-revolution list.

or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to
use-revolution-request@lists.runrev.com[/url]
There's recently been a lot of discussion on this
very subject.
It's all archived

You can search using

Hope this helps.
Thanks but I still don't get it...

Hi threeputter2, from the limited info you've given (and my limited experience with RR), my guess would be that you have to put all text from fields which contain the info you wish to search for, before you can begin to sort/search. It sounds like a lot of work but I can't see any other way round it...i.e
Code: Select all
put the text of field "SuchandSuch" of card 1 -- of stack "XYZ" --- into field "Collector"
put the text of field "SuchandSuch" of card 2 -- of stack "XYZ" --- after field "Collector"
---etc, all the way up to card 1000 (grief, what a job!)
Then you can sort and or search easily once this is done.
Hope this is good advice
and its some sort of springboard to get you started...
thanks..but no thanks...

Code: Select all

find "name here"
if the result = "not found" then
answer "name here was not found"
end if
end mouseUp
