As for ranges, I wouldn't count on that soon.

Rob,
Thanks. OK, I experimented again and the "Or" does as you say. I
don't
know what I was typing incorrectly. I even carefully typed in the
example I
myself gave as not working, and it did work.
Regarding ranges though, would you be able to establish this ability in
the
amount field? That would make the "Or" more meaningful in that field.
Say,
a person could only show transactions that ranged from $11.82 to and
including $14.00, or whatever they wanted.
Steve
