How To... Use the Start and End Fields

 
 
The sort order chosen will determine what is put in the start field and the end field.  All of the sort options with the exception of "Zip Code" are alphanumeric fields.  This means that numbers will come before the letter "A" when sorted.
 
EXAMPLE:  Lets say you want all of the accounts that have an owner name that begin with a number.  You would then leave the start field blank and then enter the letter "A" in the end field.  If you enter "99999999" in the end field, then the account "9TH INDUSTRIES LTD" will be missed.
 
EXAMPLE:  Lets say you want all of the accounts that have an owner name that begin with the letter "Z".  You would then enter the letter "Z" in the start field and then enter the letter "ZZZZZZ" in the end field.  If you enter just the letter "Z" in the end field, then none of the Z's will get printed.
 
When sorting by zip code, the zip code is entered as a 9 digit number without the dash which means that you will need to enter the leading zeros.
 
EXAMPLE:  Lets say you want all of the accounts that have the New Jersey zip code of 07458.  You would then enter "074580000" in the start field and then enter "074589999" in the end field.  Notice how the zip code is 9 digits long with the leading zeros.
