When you search for an object, the

Select Object

dialog box displays the first 200 objects available for the connection. You can select one of the objects or you can enter a search string. To begin a search, click

Search

or press

Enter

.

A search returns a maximum of 200 objects. If your search returns 200 objects without displaying the object that you want to use, enter a more specific search string.

You can use the object search at any time, but you must use the object search when the selected connection returns more than 200 objects.

Use the following guidelines when you enter a search string:

Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character.

Use quotation marks (") to perform an exact search. An exact search is case-sensitive.

You can use the following search parameters based on the connection type:

Connection type	Search parameters
Databases	Name
Flat File	Name
