It uses 4 fields. My question... If I wanted to give the user the opportunity to have more than a "SINGLE" SQL query statement, I would want to add a 5th field at the end of the line (probably a button of some type with maybe a plus sign in it) so that the user could click it and that would cause a second line of these 5 fields to appear just underneath, perhaps pushing fields below down further or maybe growing the entire window a little bit or something like that. Now, it seems to me that taking these 5 fields/buttons and placing them in a Container Control would be an excellent fit. Does anyone know of a problem going this route? In addition, what is the easiest way to have a second instance of the container control appear underneath ( and this would need to allow a 3rd and 4th as well.) I could just put 4 instances on the screen during design, make 3 hidden, then when they click the "plus" button, make the next one visible (of course, moving the objects below down just a little bit). This way, I could limit the SQL query to just 4 (and I would be OK with that). Looking for best programming practice (OSX and Windoz implementations).
