Also, I am baffled by a find and replace bug, or I think its a bug.
A find replace refuses to "see" my string, trying to replace "-
Standard" with nothing. I've posted it at http://images.jlist.com/

I went to the URL you provided, Peter, but it appeared blank. My
browser informed me that it was 1 x 1 pixel.
But I tried to reproduce your situation. In a sample database, I had
1 record where the test field contained the value "-Standard" and
another where it had the value "Standard" (without the minus sign). A
Find operation for
"-Standard" [WITH the quotation marks]
turned up just the 1st record. A Find for
Standard [WITHOUT the quotation marks]
turned up both of them.
After this 2nd Find, I entered the field and issued a "Replace Field
Contents" command, chose the "Replace with calculated result" option,
and specified
"" [quotation marks with nothing between them]
It worked fine.
Could you describe your problem in a bit more detail?
