FM20 Data Editor Freezes

I've bought and downloaded FM20 today and when I do a search in the Data Editor on the name of a person then after I've input 5/6 characters of the person's name the editor locks up, I cannot input any more characters, I cannot delete what I've put and I cannot close the editor. In fact my whole laptop is frozen. Never ever had a problem with using data editor over previous years. I've done the obvious like delete the cache and re-download the Editor program but no luck. Any ideas please.

The search field in the editor this year is real-time, i.e. like FM itself, it gives you a drop-down list of options based on the text you've input. This means it checks the whole database when you type not just when you press search. This means that if your system isn't strong enough to handle it, it'll be very slow to react.

thanks for that I'll give it a try tomorrow

Thanks for your help. I've got it sorted now
