texte = I know what I was going to ask, but got distracted...I'm not concerned about having to further filter the search results, I'm curious about the order of the elements that compose the search. I was unaware of there being any difference, I didn't think it mattered, but apparently it does. Based on the the search results that I was getting from my original post, depending on where each element (is there a better word?) is placed, the results are affected.Assuming again....the program is sorting records as it's conducting the search from left to right through your searchstring. So, if one element limits a certain set of records, or orders them or includes them, then the next element further refines that recordset and so on until the search is completed. Is this correct? Is there a logical order? I'm thinking I should start adjusting my searches to something like this order:1. data to include (such as neskudatarq=[blank]) 2. smaller data to exclude 3. sub-data of that to either include/exclude 4. etc... 5. sort order of outputOr am I just overthinking this? Perhaps I'm over-caffenated at this time now....GK | Thanks. I was just thinking that as well based on Glenn's post.
