I know how to test if a field is EQUAL to something, how do I test to see if
a field contains something?
So if I have 3 tasks with Descriptions "HAT" and "TOP HAT" and "HAT GREEN"
How do make an Iif statement true by searching for anything with HAT in it?

Hi,

Experiment with the Instr function. This worked for me:

IIf(InStr(1,[Text2],"Hat"),Yes,No)
