For social services, I use category filtered searches to find certain
services for clients, such as healthcare, crisis line, etc. Often a client
needs more than one type of service. What I want to do is run my filtered
search, and then add them to a list that, when I am all done, I will print
for that client. BCM only allows me to filter by one category at a time.
There is not boolean provision for AND, OR , etc. Does anyone know how I can
do this? BTW - when I print the new contact sub-list, I will need to print
only name, address & phone fields.
Thanks - Pat in Cheney

You might try Search Folders. You could create one with ALL the services
and then modify the criteria for each person to filter in/out the categories
you want. You could also define a Contact report with the right fields and
use Filter Report to create the same criteria. Once you create the
criteria, you can save those as a BCM query file (on the Advanced Filter
tab) and reuse it.
HTH,
Lon

You could also use Aladdins - CategorieZ which allows one-click filtering by
categories, including searching by two or more categories, using both AND or
OR searching. Makes it easier as you don't have to have seperate folders
(search folders) and way quicker than using the filters dialog.
