Peter and others, Sorry (I'm not a programmer), so I need to UNDERSTAND this with some examples, so I can use this formula successfully. If I want to find all lists which I co-own, for example, how would I convert your formula to find owner=merskine ? Alternatively, if I want to locate some other (SIMPLE) string, do the identical formulations apply? Now, if you can show me where to drop in specific changes to your general formula, I just need a clear example, for me to get the gist of this -- hopefully!)
