Hi all.  I am putting together an AmigaVision project for my workplace. 
Hopefully if all goes well, they will be impressed and buy some Amigas. ;-)
But...I have came across two problems, I hope someone out there can lend me
hand in figuring them out!

1.  I want to search a database "Key".  It is a string that is 30 chars.  The
    problem I have is that when using the "Select Record" icon, it will only
    match those records where the search string matches the first part of the
    "key".  What I want it to do is to select all of the records that contain 
    the search string anywhere in that "key". Example:  Search string is
    "BALL". The record with "BALL BEARINGS" would be selected but not, "RUBBER
    MOUSE BALLS".  Can I do this?  If so how?

2.  This database is a Logo database for a large business forms producer.  The
    logos are referenced by a number.  That number also designates an IFF brush
    with an image of the logo so that you can search the database and find the
    logo you need.  BUT...how can I get the brush on the screen?  There is no
    way that I can see that I can pass a variable with the path/filename of the
    brush to be displayed to any of the AV type icons.  All of these icons
    require a set path/filename.  Help...This is VERY important to the success 
    of my getting them to get an Amiga.  They already have a pc with a similar 
    database (ugly and not user friendly), and I was thinking this would be a
    snap to do with AmigaVision.  So far, but this one got me.  HELP!

Any help would be appreciated, thoughts, ideas, etc.  Thanks alot in advance!
