It will work if you type the numbers and hit enter.
You can also define different values for the POS attribute.
My integers I force into a range so that they always have a fixed number of digits and set the POS attribute to that. This
way, it won't attempt the search until they have typed in all the digits.

PS. Please tidy up your posts not to have stuff from other messages.

hi all

We have a query where the custid is an integer. We are using a
TIB_incSearch.
We have ordering and searchlinks in place for a number of columns but it
only searches on varchar columns and not on any integer columns.
Any suggestions

thanks
