Filter the records displayed in Form [message #455496]

Hi,
I have a block in the form which is based of a table as data source and so when i query on the form using a execute_query inbuilt statement is fired and all the records in the table behind is retrived and displayed. Also if i need to update any record i can do in on the screen and use commit_form so that all the changes go into the underlying table. Now my problem is when i retrieving my records i want to filter those records based on some conditions to be displayed in the form and not all records to be retrieved. Is it possible to do it if I am using the execute_query inbuilt and my block is based of a table?

Thanks and Regards

Press <Enter query>.
Enter search criteria (in order to filter records) (for example, "coolguy01" into the "name" item)
Press <Execute query>

Why, what are you trying to achieve?
Setting the onetime_where poperty might be what you want.

What's wrong with putting something in the 'ORDER BY Clause' block property?

I think you can set the "Where Clause" property of BLOCK while run time.

I thought the OP had an order problem because they had certainly been given all the assitance with the 'where' bits and peices that they could possibly need.
