3.Select Field name in first drop down and Equal to in second dropdown.
Moreover, select Number “1†in last dropdown.
4.Repeat same procedure and select Number as 2,3,4,5.
5.Then Go to first dropdowns and change them from Field name to Expressions.
6.Then copy the Expression in notepad and insert “OR†in between them and
copy the whole Expression in the first Expression box and delete others.

Expression is shown as below.

.. = 1 or . = 2 or . = 3 or . = 4 or . = 5 or . = 15 or . = 6 or . = 7 or . =
8 or . = 9 or. = 10 or. = 11 or . = 12 or . = 13 or . = 14


You can add up to 40 or more in the similar manner. (By using Expression)

Hi Suresh

I would like to thank you for your help. I tried reading books and looking
up help online with no result (since it seemed I had to know java script).

Thank you again for the nice summary and help.
