filter

[Tom Cole]

Does anyone know why I get no data in a variable when I filter more  
than once?
In the following, either of the filters works alone with the other  
commented out, but together I get no data.

on mouseup
   put fld sortfield into cat

   --FILTER #1
   put "12/15/1971" into rat
   filter cat with "*"&rat&"*"
   put cat into fld sortfield

     --FILTER #2
   put "elliot and cooper roads" into dog
   filter cat with "*"&dog&"*"
   put cat into fld sortfield
   put fld sortfield into cat

end mouseUp

Thanks
Tom
