Interesting. So, you mean to create a cursor, add a record for each condition, then search for the condition to determine if it should be used or not? I could have a flag on each record that detemines whether to use it or not. Rebuild the filter each time based on that rather than using a variable that just keeps getting added to. I like it. That is what you meant, sort of, right?
