Hi, I have a long list with text. The syntax filter myLongList with "*a*|*b*" should return almost the complete list, but I don't get any data returned, while filter myLongList with "*a*" and filter myLongList with "*b*" both work. What's wrong here? Mark -- eHUG coordinator mailto:europe at ehug.info http://home.wanadoo.nl/mark.sch http://www.ehug.info
