Does the system just read the Group List field of the User record when resolving the operation? If so then wouldn't you also need to use LIKE "12345%" since the first group wouldn't have the leading semi-colon? I was using this extra clause when checking to see if group ID 1 was in the Group List (field ID 104) of a supporting form (which is fed from the User form). In my case I'm using 'Group List' LIKE "1;%" OR 'Group List' LIKE "%;1;%" to check for the Admin group being the first or later in the field.

This helps ensure that the group id is fully encased, and not part of another group number.

You must be a member of certain groups in order to change the status to Scheduled, Cancelled, or Denied. We have attempted to used ($GROUPS$ LIKE "%ABC%") OR ($GROUPS$ LIKE "%XYZ%") OR (($GROUPS$ LIKE "%DFG%") AND ('Status' = "Scheduled")) OR ('Status' = "Cancelled") OR (('Status' = "Denied") AND ('Organization' = "EAST")) and we have attempted to use (NOT ($GROUPS$ LIKE "%ABC%") and it is still not working. Any suggestions on how to successfully implement would be greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years" _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
