Searching Records for Information
A database can contain a tremendous amount of information. If you had
to search manually through hundreds of records in your database to
find a particular record, it could take hours. An OmniForm search,
however, can retrieve records with the information you need in seconds.
These retrieved records are called a found set. You can print, fax, mail, or
export the found set if you wish.
