Dan, I tend to agree with Paul that you're asking for something that QuickFilter was not designed to do. Obviously, the way it is designed implies that you can search on an address. I think what needs changing is the implication! That is, the label should not say just "From" or "To", but something else more descriptive. Or, perhaps, there should be a label above the popup menu that says, "Search Column" to indicate that it is searching the displayed column and not the actual "From" or "To" fields. But, IMO, asking the team to change the whole way the Quick Filter works is not the way to go, and would basically both slow it down by making it search the database, and essentially, turn it into a shorthand way to access the "Advanced Find" function. You could create such a shorthand yourself if you like, using an AppleScript that does the search for you. However, as it stands, using a "whose" clause in a script takes even more time than a manually initiated Advanced Find on the from or to fields. So, until they give us direct scripting access to the Advanced Find functions, your best bet is that manual find. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
