need help with user defined queries
Help! Is there an easy way to crete a user defined query that does not have to be an exct match to a field. I can create one that will look up a full match in a text field, ie "criminal", but it will not bring up "criminal activity" or "active criminals" what am I doing wrong...Thanks ------------------------------------------------ ~~ Message posted from http://www.ExcelTip.com/ ~~View and post usenet messages directly from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
