Improved Filter Handling in new post
The post today makes it easier to create really cool drop-down controls for filters. To use it: 1. In the Filter data dictionary item, turn off the link for Item Must Be in table. 2. Enter aarcombo in the Control Class. 3. Enter ffcomboadd in the Adder Subclass. 4. Click on Control Properties and enter the following: .cAlias = "carcolor" && or the name of the table you want to pull from .cField = "color" && of the field name .cFieldDef= "" && Optional field if you want to do something like DISTINCT or PROPER(color), etc .Setup = .T. && This must be the last entry in order for the items to show up. 5. Hit OK and save the data item. Now try using this Data item in an ask at runtime filter. There are some glitches with this but it will be fixed in time for the release.

New Post: Updated Filter Handling
Some new handling has been added to the Ask At Runtime filter dialog to make it be a TRUE VFP component.
Logical filters are automatically be a drop-down unless otherwise specified.
Note: There is a problem if you make a change in the data dictionary. That change is not yet respected by the object model. You need to reload the preference for those changes to take affect.
