Hi,

Thx for the reaction. But i suppose I will keep on using my filemaker
mobile. The thing is that the "search" option on the palm os is limited.
Meaning: if I would like to search my database on the palm os, I can only
search one field. Yet I would like to search different fields at the same
time. For instance: within the field of author match 'gallese', within the
field 'year' match 2004, within the field 'journal' match nature. All that
is possible on the desktop (both in filemaker or in open source db soft).
Yet, for some reason there seems to be no possibility to impliment that
within Palm OS (due to the limited power of the processor?). I thought that
open source might have had the alternative (all of this is not possible in
filemaker mobile). But also open source has to little possibilities. If I
would be mistaken, please let me know. I prefer open source soft, don't we
all, but it simply must be good enough.

And thx again for your help, both of you.

Kind regards,
Dirk.
