Performing a query
To perform a query using a query form:
- 
            Open the query form using one of these methods: 
	
            - Select the query form directly in the Explorer.
- For a form, from the Actions menu select Filter > By Query .
- For a component, right-click on the component and then select the Find option from the context menu.
 
- 
            Decide what primary criteria, if any, you want to filter on and 
	 include both an operator and a value to use for the filter. 
	
            Note:- Any primary criteria for which the operator and value are not both specified autmatically returns all possible values for that criteria.
- You can use one or more wildcard characters (by default, an asterisk) for all or part of the value.
 
- Optionally, decide what other criteria you want to include in your query, and specify these on the Additional Criteria tab.
- Click Refresh .
- Optionally, to clear the results and initiate a new query, perhaps with modified search criteria, click Clear .
- To return the results of a satisfactory query to the parent form, click OK . To return to the parent form without returning the results of the query, click Cancel .
