<< Can you make more than one entry in a dialog box? IE: begining date and ending date Or do you have to use two different dialog box entries to accomplish this? >>
The standard DIALOG command allows for one prompt and one response. You can use multiple DIALOG commands in a row. However, a much better way to do this (more "Windows style", less coding for you, and more flexible for the user) is to create your own "dialog" form for the specific purpose. For instance, if finding records from a particular table you can create a form with places for the starting and ending date and any other criteria needed to locate the records, all using variables. The user fills out as many of these fields as they want. Then, you provide a button labeled "Find Records" or "Print Report". The code behind that button looks at the variable values entered, constructs a WHERE clause, and executes the appropriate command. After a while you'll develop a library of common routines and a common "look at feel" for your search forms. It becomes very, very quick and easy to write very powerful search forms this way. -- Larry
