Hi,

My name is Henri Ousmane GUEYE. I am working with the dbForms Framework and
have recently met a problem
with the filter functionality.


  - I am trying to filter a column with this following value in a column
  : "00-241#8". The format of the column is char.
  - In the same table, there is another line where is present the
  following value in the filtered column : "00-906#6"
  - So when I filter "00-241#8", I have two lines instead of only one.
  One where the column value is equal to "00-241#8" and the other one
  where the column value is "00-906#6".
  - This is due to the fact that the character "-" is a special one for
  dbForms, which tries to filter with two values "00" and "241#8"
  (Decomposition of "00-241#8").
  - I know that the character "-" is used to define an interval filter
  for date values (For example filter between 02/02/2005 and 02/02/2006 by
  using the following syntax "02/02/2005-02/02/2006". But in our case, we have
  char format for our column used as a filter.

So, I want to know if there is a solution to this problem without modifying
dbForms code to manage this particular case (For example possibility of
escaping the character "-" in the html page).

Thank you for your Help
