Hi Chintan, Thanks for the reply. I realize that I can mix and match fields from the form and from the XPATH but I am unclear on how to combine them to achieve the desired result. Maybe an example will help:
Suppose that XPATH(/ROOT/qualification) is something like the following: <urn:qualification>Workgroup="REMEDY" AND ( word="email" OR word="remedy")</urn:qualification> What I want to actually send to the server as the query is the following: Workgroup="REMEDY" AND ( word="email" OR word="remedy" AND 'distribution' != "Internal" But I can not figure out how to combine XPATH(/ROOT/qualification) with the additional clause to achive the desired result. Thanks.
