Remarks

This property is set as the Filter argument in the Application object's AdvancedSearch method.

When searching Text fields, you can use either an apostrophe (') or double quotation marks ("") to delimit the values that are part of the filter. For example, all of the following lines function correctly when the field is of type String (string in C#):

sFilter = "[CompanyName] = 'Microsoft'"
sFilter = "[CompanyName] = 'Microsoft'";
sFilter = "[CompanyName] = ""Microsoft"""
sFilter = "[CompanyName] = ""Microsoft""";
sFilter = "[CompanyName] = " & Chr(34) & "Microsoft" & Chr(34)
sFilter = "[CompanyName] = " & Chr(34) & "Microsoft" & Chr(34);
