Re: Search for prefered name

Hi All
I'd like to be able to search for species’ preferred names: using either common or binomial names supplied by clients. There is a useful feature in the recording cards that does this for binomial names when you add species. Is it available anywhere else within Recorder? If not, is there a table I could open in Access to search through?
Thanks
David

Re: Search for prefered name

If you select Dictionaries on the main menu then Taxon you will open the taxon dictionary where you can search for taxa in a variety of ways. If you click F1 with this window open it will take you to the relevent section of the help where I think what you want is under 'Finding Taxa'. There were a number of improvements to this area in v6.13.
