>>I need to - temporarily in IDE - process some records of a .DBF table. I need to see only records that meet certain criteria. For example where some field is EMPTY. If I use SET FILTER TO I see there records but as soon as I make an entry in this field, the record is gone (because it is no longer matching the SET FILTER). How can I make these records, initially selected with SET FILTER TO stay on the screen so I see what entries I made? I need a quick a dirty approach, not views and other approaches. Possible?

Thank you.
