I don't think true Boolean is an option here. But please, please, someone, prove me wrong. The only way I have been able to do this is by 'anding' everything together. suzanne -----Original Message----- From: Amy Noel [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 7:02 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: "and not" queries Hello fellow TMS Users, I'm wondering if we are one of a few TMS users for whom some query functions do not work. Particualry, "and not" queries do not work on large number of records and CLOB fields, like object packages. This means that end users (who do not use SQL worksheet) cannot eliminate an Object Package from a larger selection or query "and not *" on some fields. Is there anyone who has this problem and found a way around it within the application? I don't see our average TMS user learning SQL. This is becoming more of an issue for us as our number of in-house staff learn and use TMS continues to grow. Thanks, Amy Noel CIS Application Manager The J. Paul Getty Museum
