Filter on a Report window

[Ahmad Ghosheh]

You cando this in two ways, the easy one and the hard one:

1. Easy. Use filter to filter all records retrieved and before displaying
the result list.
2. Hard, but better, create the Where clause for your retrieve the append
it to the data window SQL statment using Modify(). If you look in the
help file and search under modify or dwmodify there are few examples of
how to do just that.

Using the Filter function in a datawindow is one of greatest
features of PB. I was hoping to exploit this even further
by attaching the Filter to a report options window. My
thought was that normal reporting would only require the
standard listbox/edit mask entries but then special request
could be retrieved via the Filter. But.... The filter only
works directly on a DataWindow. Any ideas how I can work
around this.

Thanks in advance,
