Before we upgraded to version 7, if I wanted to do the same thing with a query group, in records, I could input the query, and go from record to record within the query changing what I wanted to change. For instance, a query group of all kindergarten applications, to change the status field, one would be accept, then move to the next record WITHIN THE QUERY by hitting the arrow key, change status to deny, etc.

Well, now I'm trying to do that, and when I hit the arrow (next record) key, it gives me the next record within the database, not within that query. In order to move to the next record within the query, I have to save and close a record, then hit the "Open applicant" link. Oh, in that field it only shows the specified query, so I can move right on to the next record THERE, but it's an unnecessary and illogical move.

Am I doing something wrong? Can someone step me through it if I'm doing it wrong?

Thank you!

rrutkowski,

You can still work through a query, but now you just do it in query, eliminating the need to go back into records. Create the query and run it, and then, from the results tab, double click on the first record. The record will open, complete with the "VCR" buttons (First, Previous, Next, Last) on the toolbar that you are used to. Change what you need and use the next button to move on. A prompt will show up to save- hit enter and it saves, closes the current and opens the next. When finished and back on the results tab in the query, refresh the query and see your new results- (i.e. if you were changing a field the query is based on, the new list does not show up until you refresh the query at the end.)

Even better- use the user options to decide which tab to start on. For example, my AD at the JS is using this feature to enter all her recommendations- she sets up a query, changes her user options to open to the Education tab, and away she goes- she doesn't even have to switch tabs as she works through the query.
