    Hi Sukhvir,

    Can you provide a bit more detail? Which table column are you trying to search in?

    Best wishes,

    Hi Sue,

    Thanks for showing interest in this question.For your information table "DatabaseLog" and column name "logTable" is used for the search.


    Thanks

    Hi Sukhvir,

    I'm still not quite sure which table you are searching in. I can see a SysDatabaseLog table, but this doesn't have a logTable column in it. Perhaps you could tell me how you open the table?

    In general, to search in a column table (or a field on a form) you need to:
    1. Click on a record within the column (so that your mouse cursor is in the column).
    2. Press Ctrl + F.
    3. Enter a search expression.

    You can include one or more ? characters to search for single characters. For example, Sm?th might find Smith and Smyth, and S??th might find Smith, Smyth and Swyth.

    You can also use * at the start or end of a search string, use >, < and .. to search for values (e.g. >4000 or 4 .. 10), or type an SQL query between parentheses, such as (datasource.Fieldname != "A").

    Best wishes,
    Sue

    Hi,
    Thanks for ur reply.Actually I am customizing Axapta form "SysDatabaseLogSetup" which use DatabaseLog" table .I have added one functionality in form column "Name of Table" for finding the name of Table when a user right click on this column. I have already added a funtionality to open System form "SysFormSearch" for finding any table name in column but i am not able to search a table name when a user entered a string with "?". So if u have any idea how to acheive this pls let me know.

    If u are not still clear pls let me know by email me at sukhvir.singh@gmail.com

    Thanks
