[DQSD-Users] UK Phone Search (continued)

[Paul Birch]

Hello again,   Monty, Tom, thank you.   >Paul, maybe you want to try with the wizard and have a go creating a search for : http://www2.bt.com/edq_resnamesearch   I think that BT may be doing something fancy to monitor and control sessions using this search. I can't get it working.   I did use the wizard to mess with your ukphone Tom (attached) and added town and street switches (although the street switch is pretty useless as it stands because it'll only work for one word street names!). I had to put in a bit of a hack with the undefined checks - my coding isn't good enough to figure why that's needed.   Thanks for pointing me to the wizard - it's really neat.   Cheers,   Paul --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    Even though this XML search will probably load and is a good start
    toward a completed search, please be aware that this search will probably
    not work as is and will probably require some changes.
