Hello
If you design a table, you cannot search for fields. Here is a trick to search for Field Names.
Design the Table. Hit table to move the curser to the Field Name. Hold Shift and hit the down arrow keys. You'll notice that field becomes uneditable.
Then hit the First letter of the Field you are looking for.
e.g.
Design the Item table. Hit tab, Hit Shift + Downarrow. Hit C to find Class field.
You can do this on Globals variables. and functions as well.
Enjoy.

Hi Rashed,
I have tried it on 3.70 and it works with only one comment. You have to HOLD Shift Key when pressing first letter. If not then it cursor jumps to the first record that starts weith the pressed letter and makes Field name field editable, so you cannot search for the next one.
BUT!!!!! GREAT TIP! =D>Best Regards,
