Questions on Filters
Some questions were raised on how the filters are showing the drop-down items. Let me use the INVENTRY request as an example.
This request shows Car Model, License, Stock #, Age, Make and Price Paid.
All of these data items pull from the Cars table. When filtering on this request, you will see these items (and any sort items) at the beginning of the filter list.
After that, you will see all other data items from the Cars table.
Under that, you will see a list of the other data item groups (Dealers, Expenses, Inventory, and Salesman) each with the word Show after the item. When you select one of these items, all Data Items related to that Data Item are then displayed.
Now then, the combo-box should drop down right away showing you the list but sometimes, VFP doesn't acknowledge the drop. We're still looking into that one.
