Koray if you are entering the qualification as 'Task ID' = "TSK000001" in an external qual it will not work, you need to put the double quotes within two double quotes so the 'TSK000001' needs to be something like " " "TSK000001" " " . I have put spaces to show you the double quotes, you need to remove the spaces. make your char field visible and then have a look at what the qualification looks like and you will what is wrong. you can enter the qual as you have shown in the EXTERNAL qualification field and just right click on the table and refresh it, it will show the correct data, but if you do a Set Fields then you have to triple the double quotes. Let me know if this fixes your problem or you need further help. thanks shafqat ayaz

Weird thing is that when I enter the qualification string manually on Table Properties it works perfect, but not via the character field.
