Newbies marcs@wetmore Posted May 7, 2001 Newbies Share Posted May 7, 2001 I have a database of jobs that when completed, the user will check a "Completed" checkbox. I would like to sort a list to show only the items that are not checked (uncompleted). I only want this for this one list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 7, 2001 Share Posted May 7, 2001 Do a find for the checked check box and click the Omit box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies marcs@wetmore Posted May 7, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted May 7, 2001 Sorry, forgot to specify that I want to do this in a script. Is there a way to step through each record looking for the checkbox and then omitting the record that was checked? I have been able to get it to work, sort of by going to the first record and then omitting records, but I have to run the script several times. When I do this, it sets all the other forms to only see the uncompleted jobs. I want just the list form that I am working on to display the sorted records.

This seems like a simple find request issue. I think that you are looking for the unckecked records of a particular ??. The find criteria is 2 step. The first request finds the ?? that you are looking for. The second request uses the omit option to omit the records that are checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies marcs@wetmore Posted May 7, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted May 7, 2001 Fixed it myself. Here is what I did: Go to Record/Request/Page[First] Loop If(Complete="Complete") Omit Record EndIf Go to Record/Request/Page[Exit after Last, Next] End Loop Hope this helps anyone else.

LiveOak Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 This approach will certainly work, but for large record sets it is not nearly as fast as a find or better yet a "go to related record, show only related records". Kind of like driving in a wood screw with a hammer.
