All, We 7.6.4 and was checking documentation for 'Search' option in an AL and found:
Executes when a user performs a search operation. The active link executes before the search operation so that, if the active link criteria is not met, the If actions are not performed. (If Else actions exist, they are performed.) To prevent a specific search from occurring (such as an unqualified search), you can have the active link return a message (such as an error); otherwise, the search is performed. You can also use active links to set fields to modify the search. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE The active link can access and assign values in the Search window, including the Search Bar if the reserved Search Bar field is present on the form. Question: Which field (or Keyword) stores the search string being sent to the database? I needed to validate it in an AL on the 'Search' operation.
