Garry,
FileMaker Pro is quite literal. Most likely what is causing your problem is
in the following line:
>

You're asking FMP to find the records whose cell "Page" has any occurrence
of "10" which includes {10, 100, 110, 5105, etc}
If you change that to:
I tell FMP to check off "OK" in every record whose cell "Page" == "10"
FMP will now search for every record whose cell "Page" equals exactly "10"
