When I have a data bound window up and select query mode then run without any params I can get the QBF QUERY CRITERIA window up, but, what is the format for getting any selections recognised.

WITH fieldname EQ "ABC"

or

BY fieldname

is not recognised

Barry

Once you have initiated the QBF, you need to move to the prompt that you wish to query and type in a string with some sort of operator.

Examples:

in the State field of a customer screen type,=CA"

you can use,

=

]

] beginning with ex. ] chi

ending with no

contains

; or Ca,NY

Hope this helps.

Sorry, yes I understand all that, but, e.g. in Arev you could just enter QBF mode and enter BY to sort, in OI it wont accept it, so, I was wanting to enter say BY FIELDNAME in the QBF command line that comes up and mayby for what ever reason some other select/sort criteria…so how do you start the line off

I apologize. I obviously misunderstood what you were asking for.

As for your question, I'm not really sure. I've got some ideas but I'm not sure if it'll work. I'm going to try it and if I get some decent results, I'll post something.

Barry,

Didn't RTI say they will release the QBF source through Works? Then if we're lucky we (Works members) might be able to add the BY functionality with some extra programming. So possible solution (1) is modify/extend QBF source.

Possible solution (2) is to make your own query windows. Have you considered that?
