Hugo,

Thanks for the quick response and the practical advice!

I thought I may have been missing out on a good shortcut, but I will stay away from them.

If you just need to do this one time you can script the entire database to a file. This will create a text file that you can search.

What are some instances where a bitmask would be useful?

I've been programming for a while now and never really understood their purpose.

Thanks!

Bonnie
