Now im reading about rushmore optimizables... because when I use the SQL Select command even if the result is not exact or the search is not exact it still brings me a result. :( if you have any tip in order for the search to be exact I would appreciate it. because I want that if the result is not exactly as I asked for it in the search I dont want it to be presented on the form. instead I want a message that appears saying: "no match found"
