Query Basics

Query-by-Example is a simple three step process:

  1. While in a form, switch to query mode by selecting <F11> from the keyboard
  2. enter the criteria for the query
  3. execute the query by selecting <ctrl><F11> simultaneously from the keyboard

 

While performing step 2 (enter the criteria), with either wildcards or operators as shown in the tables below.
