QUESTION POSED ON: 18 September 2004
I need to use a wild card in a @DbLookup formula.
For example:
@DbLookup("":"NoCache";@DbName;" myView";"*smith*"2); [which doesn't work].

Is there a solution? Thank you.

@DBLookup does not allow for wildcard values. However, in ND6 there is a keyword, PARTIALMATCH. If used, it returns a match if the key matches the beginning characters of the column value.
