Can I change the default for custom filters? cbry 11.09.2006 06:50:01 "Custom filte" always begins with "Show rows where <field name> EQUALS ..." I almost always use CONTAINS. Can I change the default so that it'll automatically display CONTAINS as the starting criterion? If so, how? I'm in Mac OS 10.4.7. Thanks.

Say you want to check to see if the value contains cbry. Use Equals and *cbry* surround your value with asterisks to get the equivalent of Contains Leading asterisk (*cbry) is the same as ends with trailing asterisk (cbry*) is the same as begins with Why, oh, why isn't that dropdown box just a hair bigger! cbry wrote: [Quoted Text] > > "Custom filte" always begins with "Show rows where <field name> EQUALS ..." > I almost always use CONTAINS.
