Hi Shafqat

Thank you for the hint. The 1005 field is related to the advanced search bar.

Using this field, I was able to hide and unhide the bar.
I was also able to add an active link on from B (fired by a button on form B), that populates the advanced search bar. A "set fields" was used to do this. But my problem is still there. I want to add a button on form A, that makes a query on form B, displays the list of records found (using the "open window" action) AND puts the actual criterias of the query in the advanced search bar of form B. Because my active link is on from A, I cannot use a "set fields" action. I can only use a "push fields" action. I dont know what I should write under the "Push Field If:" condition (since field 1005 is not an actual field of any record). I dont know if the 1005 field can be used on a "push fields" action.

Any ideas on this?

Thanx,

Renaude Roy-Drouin

PS : Sorry if I posted this email twice but I'm a bit confused with the arslist right now ;)

Hello Renaude
refer to Joe DeSouza's email a few days back, populating the Advanced Search bar via workflow, the field id for the Search bar I think is 1005, just do a Set Fields to that field when your user pushes the button, or opens a new query window.

  kind regards

  Hi all,

I have a problem when converting a macro to an "open window" active link
action.

Here is the macro :
1) Set Current Working Schema to PR-Problem ($_SERVER$)
2) No match error -- 10000 (ERROR)
Message text - Non existent problem number for this query.
3) Suppress empty lists optin -- TRUE
4) Perform Query
Query bar -- '3' > $DATE$
5) Open Query List window
6) Window positioning
x - 0, y - -47 with - 808, height - 542
(UNIX only)

It is fire from a button on an display-only from. It opens a window of the
PR-Problem (regular) form, listing all records that match the
condition : '3' > $DATE$.

When I convert the macro to an active link, it creates an "open window"
active link action. The new active link works correctly but when my user
clicks on "new search", the above condition is not shown on the "advanced
search bar" (at the bottom of the window). When the macro was used, the
condition was shown and the user could add some more qualifications.

Is there a simple way I can make that happen again?

Thanx,

Renaude Roy-Drouin
