>>>I just set up a dummy table in VFP5 with a field called test2 (a 10 position charactor field). I populated several records with some 1's, 2's and 3,s. I then entered the command "SET FILTER TO TEST2='1'" and only the records with the 1's appeared in the browse Unless there is something I am not seeing it your question , check the expressions on both sides of the = sign (or other operator). I usually check this mysely by going to a record where I think I know what the result would be and enter a command similar to the one in the filter command such as this.
