Form Record Selection

You can define a condition on a record to ensure that the form displays only the records that satisfy the condition. The two kinds of record conditions that you can define are file state access and record select conditions.

File state access defines which state a record must be in for the form to display the record. For more information on record states, see Database Definition.

Record select conditions define a condition that a record must satisfy for the form to display it. When you define record select conditions, you assign a value to each record select condition. At run time, when you type the assigned value in the record select field, the form displays only the records that satisfy the condition associated with that value.
