@Jeff Schwenk, out of curiosity, how do you 'stop setting it up'?

I stopped setting this up for clients back in 2017. In a way, I do like the multiple field searches. BUT, the drop down window is limited to 10 ITEMS!!!! So where is the value if the record you are looking for is # 13 in the list? You will never see it. PLUS you have to run the refresh frequently as added/changed records are not updated automatically. Another great idea that was never completely thought through or updated beyond the initial "look at this great idea" release.

- Browse to the ..\MAS90\MAS_SYSTEM directory on the server
- Rename or Delete the Index_AC directory that was created
- The basic Auto-Complete will now be used
