Caution : The Patient Value entry itself has no effect on the search. It is used only for setting a pair of a column name with a key word in the Search Key entry. Be sure that tkDerm uses the value in the Search Key entry as the search key.

Caution : You cannot do an AND search with two or more different values of the same column. Even if you set two or more pairs of different values and the same column in the Search Key entry, only the last pair will be used as the search key.

Hint : You will get all the data stored if you click the Find button while the Search Key is empty.
