I have a saved spec which looks for |@date| in any of 5 fields.  The spec is saved with "Meet any restrictions" and, when loaded, works exactly as it should.

I've attached the spec to a report.  Although the info line at the bottom of the screen tells me that it is setting the retrieve to meet any criteria, no records are displayed in the report.

Hello Scott,

I have Ben looking into this to see what is happening. If it is a bug, we'll pass it on to development so that it can be fixed.

In the meantime you can sidestep this by using a programmed retrieve.
Create one like this:

{date_entered = @Date OR date2 =@Date OR date3 =@Date }
Attach this spec and it will work.

Note:
1. If you use F6 to expand the field, for convenience, when you close the field editor it will put ^J characters into the search string - you will have to remove them.
2. You can use @ServerDate() instead of @Date, but only when running client-server
3. Note that @ServerDate() has parentheses, @Date does not.
4. You must use FIELD NAMES, not layout element names (if they differ)

Is this an instance to use pipes vs. braces? 

| formula |   vs. { formula }

Supposed to be faster ....?

On a few of my reports I have worked around the problem of "meet any restrictions" not being obeyed when attached to reports by detaching the retrieve spec and using @LoadRetrieveSpec before the report is run, which then runs on the retrieved records.  (Sample follows for anyone in a similar situation)

// Prints the Posting report

Var vLoadSearch as Int
Var vClearSpec as Int
Var vLoadSpec as Int
Var vRunRetrieve as Int
Var vPrintTheReport as string

// Switch to Search Mode
vLoadSearch = @SelectTreeItem("Search Update Menu!Search (F7)")

// Clear the current Retrieve Spec
vClearSpec = @SelectTreeItem("Search Menu!Clear Form (F3)")

// Load the Retrieve Spec
vLoadSpec = @LoadRetrieveSpec("Posted today in any payment field - meet any")

// Run the Retrieve
vRunRetrieve = @SelectTreeItem("Search Menu!Search Commands!Retrieve New Results (F10)")

// Run the report
vPrintTheReport = @PrintAReport("Posting -  Today, ALL", REPORT_MODE_HTML_PREVIEW, PRINT_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1) 

I have a good number of other reports which could make use of "Meet Any", so I'm looking forward to a fix.  Please post an update at that time, thanks!
