>I have a view, that needs to be filtered at run time. What I want to do is use SET FILTER TO, but the rest is a select statement. sample:
>SET FILTER TO bed_key NOT IN (SELECT bed_key FROM bookingtbl WHERE ;
> BETWEEN(m.arrive_date, bookingtbl.arrive_date, bookingtbl.dept_date);
>UNION(SELECT bed_key FROM occupantstbl WHERE ;
> BETWEEN(m.arrive_date, occupantstbl.arrive_date, occupantstbl.dept_date)))
>The actual SELECT's works fine. It is only when I add the SET FILTER part that I get the syntax error. I have tried doing it to a cursor,(correct results) and SET FILTER TO bed_key NOT IN tempcur, syntax error.
>Is this the result of a limitation of SET FILTER? BTW, I tried to do it at the actual view, but only the first half of the SELECT would fit.

The only suggestion I can offer you is to set a variable = everything but "set filter to part". {lhold="bed_key NOT IN (select...} and then on the next line, type: set filter to &lhold

This may or may not work but it's where I'd start.
