 Does anyone know the syntax for doing a search for 'contains' in dbase ?
It's been about a year since I used this and I can't remember the syntax to
save my life.
I beleive it was something like 
'seek for string $ in feild'
the $ being the 'contained in' statement. 
Also I'm trying to get a search to ignore certain charecters, i.e. if I do a
search for a p/n like 1234-1234 and there is a ','comma instead of a '-' dash.
                                         Thanks
                                            Bob
