Just a guess but maybe TV is used only for checkboxes? An alternate to an Exact match of 1 or true?------------------------------Michael Tamoush------------------------------

Mark, I believe this is to reference the index / ID# of a lookup field.

EX would match the input value,
TV would match the numeric reference value of a searched proxy field

I think I came to the conclusion that the TV was used to match on User field types.------------------------------Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
