I built a FILTER that grows as one moves from field to field entering text into textboxes on a form. Or the user may enter just text in on field, it varies. The FILTER is working great, but...

I want to be able to search on partially entered text in the same textbox fields and still use my all-inclusive FILTER.

For example,
I want to search on an address field where the user does not have to enter the whole address, but can press a command search button at any time.

The user might type in ADDRESS as follows:
3432 Broa instead of 3432 Broadway Ave. and they hit the search command button. So the condition of my filter would not be "=", but something other than "=".

This might be an easy one, but I have never done it and I am fried on Friday afternoon. Can someone help me out? Thanks very much.

Your VFP knowledge never ceases to amaze me. Someday my VFP knowledge may never cease to amaze me, but for now I am still a VFP Dummy.
