Query Prompts Dialog |
A query prompt allows you to fill in the criteria for a query at print-time. For example, if you want to be able to search for a particular part number that you type in at print-time, you would use the Query dialog to select the part number field from the database, specify the equality operator, and set the criteria to a Query Prompt. Then every time you print, you will be asked to type in the part number, and only records that match that part number will be printed.
