Hi Judith,

Calculation fields don't display anything in Find mode, since there is no record for which to calculate anything. But you can do what you want using merge fields on your layout. Just make the field label a text object that has:

"<<Brand>> Order #"

We it browse more it should merge in the Brand field, but in Find mode it should just display the "Order #" text.

Regards,
Chad

I have tried to change a couple of field labels that are calculated so that they will display something when in Find mode. Here's what I tried:

If ( Get ( WindowMode )  = 1; " Order #" ; Brand & " Order #" )

The field labels display correctly when in Browse mode bur are blank in Find Mode. I need to have something show in Find mode so the users will know what they are searching...
