Bill,

Thanks a lot.  In the meantime I also "fall over" on this brute force :-)   I played a little with:

tds contains "xxx"
data.data contains "xxx"
frame contains "xxx"
tcp.data contains "xxx"
etc...

just because there are cases where the actual info is not shown as tds.  

Looks like for my purpose the 'frame contains "xxx" and frame contains "yyy" ' type queries the more useful.  They are 
surprisingly fast - thanks WireShark developers.

Thanks again,

János
