When buidling an Advanced Query using the status field i have to enter the search as number 0 through 3 instead of Open, Closed Won, Closed Lost, or Inactive. Is this normal? We are using v17.
Thanks,

Yes, why store alpha when a number is simpler. The same reason that False is stored as 0 and True as -1.

Just wanted to confirm as on our previous ACT 2008 version it was still using the full text for the status field.

No it wasn't, that was just a program interpretation of the numeric value.

You are right Roy but it confuses the average user and the designers would have been better to keep the interpretation in so users put in what they see in ACT.
