Dear all,
 
I have to write a selection formula to select records which is satifying a part of that field..
 
eg, If we have values in filed like APPLE, PURPLE,HUMPLE,PLEASE
 
and if user enter as PL, then report should show APPLE,PURPLE,HUMPLE,PLEASE because all this values having PL in diffrent places, or if user enter PP, only APPLE  has to show?
 
Please help to write a slection formula for thia case..

Sorry, I don't want to select tables, I have to write the selection formula in crystal report, to filter records with that specific criteria..

This might work.
Create a text parameter for input from the end user.
Create a formula field "instr({field to check},{?parameter})".
In you select statement "{Formula field}>0".
