Re: User interface problem with Pop-up menus and exact finds.

I don't know if it could work as your description is not 100% clear to me.
But I'd think you may take advantage of 2 factors. One, that you may create
a new field which by calculation could be made to match exactly the pop-up
menus contents. And two, that you may search on one field and show two
fields.
As a (dummy) example of the first factor :
NewField (calc) = Case (Substitute(PopUpField, " ", "_") =
Substitute(FieldToBeFound, " ", "_"), "X", "")
And for the 2nd factor :
A CustomerID field set to popup that shows both the CustomerID and the
CustomerName.
It may take time for you to adjust that to make it work the way you want.

I'm using FileMaker 7 and Server 7 and I've run into user interface
issue.

I want my users to be able to do EXACT finds on fields defined with
pop-up menus. A popup menu gives them no chance to enter keywords to
modify the find. I have field values of "D Done" and " Not
Done" and a search for "D Done" matches " Not Done" as well.

I can't change the field values and I don't want to lose my popup
menus. Is switching to a popup list my only hope? I'd like some way
to control the kind of find myself rather then ask the user to use the
symbols.
