In order to have a small database, I'm using properties. I have a template for a company with each property filled by default with the question mark '?'. For a new customer, I duplicate the template, fill the fields I know, leave the others set to '?'. If I want to find all customers for whom I don't have email, I'll search for the property email being set to '?'. However, it seems that I can't type the '?' in the prompt. I suspect this is due to the underlying ido completion. Do you think anything can be done about that ? Thanks -- Paul
