Howard Barlow	I'm having issues where full text index does not do numbers. How can I make it include numbers in the index. Say a something like 'concrete filling 3000 yards'. I'm able to search any item in the text field, but I type in 3000 with a CONTAINS or DOES NOT CONTAIN and I get nothing.

You will need to create an external word generator and use that instead of the default one. I have one that I worked up for EDB2 that includes numbers, and a few additional characters that my customers need. If you want it, just let me know and I'll clean it up a bit and push it up to the contributions newsgroup. -- --------------------------------------- Terry Swiers Millennium Software, Inc. http://www.1000years.com http://www.atrex.com Now shipping Atrex 13.
