Re: TZF - Filters

Can you provide an example of your code?

The filter command looks like this:

  TzDBF1.SetFilterTo(s:string);

To set three fields (say Name, Team, and BirthCity)
in a filter when  the values I want are in variables
v1, v2, v3 
I might do something like this
_________________________________
var
  f:string;
  s1,s2,s3:string;


s1:='Name="'+v1+'";     //  You have to put the value of the 
                                    //   variable inside of   "     
                                   //    and it takes a '  to do this
s2:='Team="'+v2+"';
s3:='BirthCity="'+v3+"'

f:=s1+' .AND. ' +s2+' .AND. '+s3;

// then set the filter with

TzDBF1.SetFilterTo(f);

// You can certainly do the above in fewer lines (maybe one) but when
//  I do it in that way I always make a mistake.

AND, normally when I set a complex filter, it does not
work the first time and I have to tinker with it a little bit

HTH,
Bob
