Courtney, is "Alternate Number" a field in your Query Assistant? (or any other customized query you may have made?) Christine Christine Droll Collections Database Administrator The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art 4525 Oak Street Kansas City, MO 64111-1873 t: 816.751.1333 f: 816.751.0499 From: The Museum System (TMS) Users [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Courtney Wagner Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 11:06 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Alternate number search Hello fellow users, I'm unable to search 'alternate numbers' in my database. Specifically: A 'promised gift' in the collection is made a permanent piece so we've given it a new object number and have kept the old number as it's 'secondary number' (the box in the object number window is checked to use this as an alternate number). The old number now appears in red under the new number in my data view window but I am unable to use the old number when performing a search. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?
