Indexing a report
« on: October 24, 2006, 03:54:01 AM »
Is it feasible to add two indexing fields together?
What I mean is, I have a report first line has PROFIT & LOSS on it
Second line has NEWPORT NEWS in it
Is it possible to combine these two to make one indexing field that would say?
PROFIT & LOSS NEWPORT NEWS ? NCB

Thanks
Jim

When adding an index using the graphical indexer you can add multiple fields to the index.  They will be concatenated with no blanks, so if you need a blank between fields you will have to ensure that one is provided.  Note that there are some limitations, the OD Admin help for 'Adding an index' discusses these.
