Hi, Lynne--

Try the find with two equal signs in front of 04, as in:

==04

In order for this to work, the field may have to be indexed, but try it 
without indexing (if you haven't already) first!

Hope this does the trick.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Filemaker Pro question


>    Our tiny museum uses Filemaker Pro for membership and collections 
> tracking. I have worked with a few databases for some time and I heard 
> that this program was easy to use. However, while I like the program, 
> Filemaker Pro is still a learning experience every time I go into it. For

>    Our membership records have a last field into which I put every year in 
> which I receive membership dues from someone. Our society president would 
> like to know what new members we have this year, so I need to pull only 
> those records that have *only* 04 in that last field. I know how to pull 
> all records that have an 04 in that field, but I need to pull only records
