Odd. I don't use it much because of GoFish, but when I've used it it has worked properly. I agree about the dog though (and the speed slowness of the search).

>Tried it and it gave me no results. So either I was doing it wrong or it doesn't work. I also get extremely angry if I havce to look at that damn dog or wizard for any length of time. XP Search window is rubbish;.

>>>I've go a dilemma in that looking at some old rubbish code (FPD26), tables are continually opened in specified work areas and closed. Now there's a table that I need to ensure I keep open throughout the app. I do:

>>>Select 0
>>>Use DefDirs

>>>Now AFAIK you can only use 25 work areas in FPD26. I was thinking of opening DefDirs in 25. But I need to check through this labyrynth of progs to check that 25 (or whatever) isn't used somewhere else (for the same lame reason).
