Hi Eric,

Actually, I tried it with and without "bg". It failed in both cases.

Other scripts work with and without "bg" before "field", as long as 
the field belongs to a group.

find patientname in field "patient name"

and

find patientName in bg field "patient name"

both work equally well.

Just to make sure, I just tested that.

mark cards by finding string tempPtName in bg field "patient name" also works.

I admit it might be good practice to leave the "bg" out. I suppose 
Rev ignores it.

Sorry to be contrary :-)


Any other thoughts?


Cheers,


Tim
