All modules are equipped with the advantage of searching for an individual using the Soundex (i.e., sounds like) function. This function uses a Soundex code. In order to update the Soundex Code column in the Soundex table, this function is triggered each time the LAST_NAME column in the NameMaster table is modified (added or edited).

If you are searching for a person with the last name of Smith (which could be spelled "Smith" or "Smyth" or "Smythe"), you can enter one of these names in the Last Name column and click on the Soundex radio button. This will produce a list of all names within the Name Master table that sound like the name that was entered. |
If for some reason this feature does not appear to be functioning properly, it might be beneficial to manually run this process from the Update Soundex Table window. Running this process manually will ensure that the Soundex codes have been updated.
