Select * from invoice
where
customer number is "what it is"
and status_flag is "unpaid"
and amount between "Low value" and "High value"
order by
date
That should find the invoices that have not been paid that could
accomodate a range, rather than a specific value.
Me? A selection set or table would be fine, but the reality is that
there are a million more places to learn how to write a SQL query than
how to use filePro's native tools. So if they are looking for
information in ways that the system as configured does not supply, why
not teach them to use a tool that leverages that pool of talent and
available training.
It's all about the tools in the toolbox. Some make better hammers and
some make better pry-bars.
