Search only selected records
If this switch is activated, only the selected data records are searched; otherwise
all are searched (see also section “Selecting data records” beginning on page
351).
Accuracy
Specifies how closely the content of a field must agree with the search term:
Search term anywhere in the field: Finds all data records in which the search
term occurs anywhere in the fields being searched.
Field begins with the search term: Finds only those data records in which the
search term occurs at the beginning of the search fields. So, if you search for
“Fish”, only records with “Fish” at the beginning of a field are found (including,
for example, records in which a field begins with “Fisher”, but excluding
records in which a field contains “Ralph Fisher”).
Field matches the search term: Here, the search function finds only data
records in which the field content corresponds completely with the search term.
So, if you search for “Fish”, only records with fields containing just “Fish” are
found; records with fields containing “Fisher” are not.
Adding and editing data records
Important: Data records can be changed only in the database module’s form
view. To switch between list and form views invoke the command View > Form.
If form view is active, a little check appears in front of this menu item; otherwise,
list view is active.
To edit a data record, simply position the text cursor in the desired data field and
make your changes. You can move to the next field with the (Tab) key, to the
previous field with (Shiftª)(Tab).
Note: To save changes to a data record, you do not have to invoke any special
command, because changes to the active data record are saved automatically
when you page to another record or exit the database.
