It seems if the criteria separator already exists in the criteria, WiTango
doesn't loose it.  When I have had to create a new search with selections
needing to be grouped, after saving the file, I use WordPad to insert the
separator manually outside of WiTango and it stays there.

I insert the following wherever needed.

        <CriteriaItem>
                <Conjunction>or  </Conjunction>
        </CriteriaItem>

A bit of a hassle but it works.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Criteria Separator


   All, I'm having a problem that I thought I knew the answer to but now it
seems what I "knew" is not working. My environment is Windows 2000, Witango
5 and SQL.

   I have a number of selections in a search. For example, 

        Selection Set 1
and     Selection Set 2
and     Selection Set 3
and     Selection Set 4
and
        Selection Set 5
or      Selection Set 6

   I thought that by right clicking inside of the search Criteria and
dragging a criteria separator where I needed it would allow me to accomplish
the above. It looks good when I drag it but when I close the search object
and reopen it the and on the line by itself goes away and all criteria are
set to ands.

   I need the query built as above where all of the first 4 are true and
either of the last two are true. What Witango seems to be giving me is:

        Selection Set 1
and     Selection Set 2
and     Selection Set 3
and     Selection Set 4
and     Selection Set 5
or      Selection Set 6

   which is not the same logic at all. 

   Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to do this without using a
direct DBMS action?

   Thanks for your help!

   Sincerely,
   Gene Wolf
