[SOLVED] Autoprompt for arbitrary WHERE combinations

I know this is a long shot...

Is there any way to set up ampers so that I can get an autoprompt (not have to build my own HTML UI) so that users can provide an arbitrary number and arbitrary set for a known group of ampers?

For example -
The possible variables in FILE CAR might be SEATS, COUNTRY, and SALES and the users might want to say
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' and SALES EQ 10000 AND SEATS EQ 2 OR COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' AND SALES GT 25000 AND SEATS EQ 4 OR COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' AND SALES GT 15000 AND SEATS NE 2 etc. etc. - I realize I can build a UI where they'd pick all three variables any number of times and string together a WHERE statement for them. I'm just wondering if there'd be any way to set up the FEX so that the autoprompt could do this.

Channy,

Autoprompt will give you only data entry boxes and/or listboxes depending on the options you specifiy with an amper variable.
It will not allow you to give your users the possibilities that you envision.
You could set things up so that autoprompt will present a fixed number of possibilities.

If you need more than that, then you're going to have to build your own UI, with or without the HTML layout painter.

GamP -

Thanks for responding - I pretty much thought that would be the answer but I wanted to check before building a whole UI in case WebFocus could do it for me.

Ironically you could do this in 71 but they took the feature away from us in 76.

IBI'ers

Any explanation please?
