input file extensions in param
Robert Keesecker

I am able to create a simple query parameter to find entries with specific extensions, i.e. htm, lbi, jpg, js, etc. in fields with file paths. I have tried everything to create a single parameter to return multiple extensions. For example, htm and jpg only. One way I tried was to set up criteria for four separate extensions, i.e. [htm] or [jpg] or [lbi]. This brought up three parameters windows. If I select one or two and leave the third blank, it returns no results at all.  Ultimately, I want the parameter to apply to a report. If this is possible at all, I'm guessing it is going to take a truckload of VBA.  Ugh.

Thanks, Juan.  I set up the wildcard Like string in the 'URL Path' field, so now I can not only enter the characters for a file extension and get just the one I entered, but I can also enter any phrase I want from the URL, which of course returns entries with just that.  A bonus I hadn't even thought of since I was so focused on the URL extensions.  So thanks for that.  Tomorrow I'll try your other two suggestions, see what happens, and post again here with what does or doesn't happen.  I'll also check out the Double Lookup video you recommended.  Thanks very much, Juan.
