Thanks Russ. Been there, done that. Advanced find doesn't seem to look into
the Notes field. Or did I miss something?

I stand corrected - I thought you were talking about advanced instant find
(clicking on the little icon in the search box). But you were talking about
Tool Menu-Instant Search - Advanced Find and it worked. Thanks a lot!

Spot on. Instant search is worthless for Notes fields. Advanced Find still
works.
