But if the old number is appearing in red under the new number, it
seems that you have somehow made it a Secondary Object Number as opposed to an
Alternate Number. ???

Hi Courtney!
You can search “Alternate Numbers” from the Find Object
query window. You just have to remember to check the box in front of
Alternate Numbers.

Courtney, is “Alternate Number” a field in your Query
Assistant? (or any other customized query you may have made?)

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?
Thanks!
