You could put
"(Empmaster.termdate =CTOD("") OR Empmaster.termdate > DATE())" in the expression field and set the Criteria to "=" and Example to ".T.". We found that you can't input a "." as the first character in the Example field but you can enter any other character first and then go back and delete the first character after inputing the ".T.". I don't think this is an optimizable expression.
