Hi Chuck,

Actually there is. When you create the variable for the search use the getastext() functions. Or when entering data put it in quotes. This way the variable contains text and the search will work. The same is true for a scripted find. You can use the same variables for both. In the calculation screen check out text and date functions as well. There are a number of helpful functions that will give you a text based variable that can be used in a find, constrain or extend step.

I hope this helps

I take it that there is STILL no way to use a variable in the Find and Constrain Find scrip calls.....
