Remarks

Using the FindEx method with no arguments, or without specifying Field, Test, and Value, displays the Find dialog box that has options set for the previous state. If you set SearchAllFields to True, programmatic use still requires values for the Field, Test, and Value parameters.

Example

Either of the following statements finds the next field that contains the value 2, within the set of all available fields.

FindEx Field:="Name", value:="2", Test:="contains", SearchAllFields:=True 
FindEx Field:="OtherField", value:="2", Test:="xx", FieldID:=pjTaskName, _
    TestID:=pjCompareContains, SearchAllFields:=True
