Try doubling up on the double-quotes within the string. For example: " 'LISTSummary' LIKE ""%""+ $Details$ +""%"" "

I am trying to set a field to the following: " 'LISTSummary' LIKE "%"+ $Details$ +"%" " However, when I press "Add Action", it 'corrects' it to: ( "'LISTSummary' LIKE " % "+ $Details$ +") % "" The first string works when I insert it manually into the field. I'm able to search the other form and return what I want. The second does not work if manually inserted. If I allow the active link to run, doing a set fields with the 'corrected' string, I get a message stating ARERR [312] Data types are not appropriate for arithmetic operation and the field is not set to anything. If I try using Advanced options in creating the Active Link, I get an error when I try and set the fields equal to "'LISTSummary' LIKE "%"+ $Details$ +"%"" stating that Valid field/values must be used. I know I'm missing something obvious here. Can anyone let me know how to make this work?
