Nadya,

Pardon my ignorance, but what View Editor are you using? Steve Sawyer's?

>>The parenthesis can be adjusted using the Pri. (Priority) column on the Filter tab in the View Designer. If you don't want any parenthesis, set all conditions to the same priority. If you want to have parenthesis around 2 conditions, give them a lower number (higher priority), and your other conditions a higher number.
