Rick,

I guess I wasn't too clear. The View designer is not capable of doing complex ANDs and ORs.

Your parens as hand coded looked ok to me. Is it giving you an error when you try to run the CREATE SQL VIEW command?

>>>SELECT * FROM A;

>>>AND Request.AREA LIKE ?carea;
>>>AND (Request.MNRCAT LIKE ?cmnrcat OR Request.MNRCAT IS NULL);
>>>AND (Request.STATUS LIKE ?cstatus OR Request.STATUS IS NULL);

>>>I know that to get around this problem, you have to do it programmatically in a .prg, but I dont know how. Can anybody help me with it??
