How can the user bring up "empty"?[/quote]<br/>"Empty" basically has no means, if you are searching for empty(Lastname) then you don't enter anything in the last name field value.<br/>Can you be more specific no what kind of search are you trying to do here?Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:32:34 GMTEdhy Rijohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost31515.aspxcould you provide some sample code to do this?Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:28:18 GMTRoss L. Rooker, Sr.http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost31514.aspxThat would be a trick one, since if you are in a text field, empty would mean that you don't want to search on that field.<br/><br/>Thinking about it, if I were to do something in that scenario, I would probably create a "convention" in a way to tell my user that if they wrote something like "(empty)" or whatever string we would choose, I would then check for that in the BrowseDialog BeforeSearchExecuted and manipulate the QueryInfo argument to make sure the search engine fetched the empty values.<br/><br/>Just an idea, not sure if this is what you are looking for...Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:28:41 GMTIvan George Borges
