Trouble using > and< in searches
For some reason, our DBMan implementation has decided to return no matches if you add a > (Greater than) or < (Less than) before the search criteria in a field.

The specific field in question is defined in the .cfg file as:

nacqcost =>[51,'numer', 8, 8, 0, '', ''],

and formatted in the search form as:

<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>Acquisition<br>Cost:</FONT></TD>
<TD COLSPAN="3" VALIGN="TOP">&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="nacqcost" VALUE="$rec{'nacqcost'}" SIZE="13" MAXLENGTH="13"></TD>


and finally the display forms show it as:

<TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>Acquisition<br>Cost:</FONT></TD>
<TD>&nbsp;<$font>$rec{'nacqcost'}</Font></TD></TR>


It is urgent that I fix this. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have not made any modifications to DBMan in relation to how it handles searches (that I know of!)

Thanks,

Lynette
