I believe Bertil Isberg sent me instructions for accessing a query
through a form quite a few years ago. I didn't gt around to it then,
but I really need to get to it now.
The standard query tapeworm is too long for my daily use. I have
looked at some of the commercial options available, and they are not
ideal, either.

I thought the instructions were on the DBcommunity, but didn't find
them there.

Thank you.

"Standard query tapeworm"? Whatever could you mean by that?

Not sure what you're trying to do - accessing a query through a form? If
you mean having a form window that provides selection criteria entry fields
on it and a push button to generate the results based upon those, it's
pretty simple - if you do opal. If not, then you be learning soon.

Is that what you want to do?

I think that's exactly what he meant.. the raw query form stretches out
forever.. *if* you have too many fields in your table (g)

and I also think you gave the correct answer.. sure, you can create a form
that'll let you make criteria selections, then pass it to the query.. *if*
you know how to write paradox code..
