Yes, I agree, or the search options are not too narrow. With the application being considered it is likely that the database will consist of 300-400 records.

PS. Thanks too Dave and RedEvo for your additional feedback.

I don't know what you're trying to do so this may not apply, but with that
few records I would just go for drop box options otherwise you run the risk
of far too many negative results beintg returned.

Thanks for that - yes maybe. We're still quite a way off at this point having not finalised on which software to use, but I think for the search it will be a case of trying various options. I appreciate your help.

Is there a way I can see it Dave?
