This is exactly the kind of code I was using also. It turns out to be
very similar using the ABC templates under CW4b2.
I was in the right embed point, I just wasn't returning the right
value. It turns out you have to return Record:Filtered or Record:Ok.
So the above code turns into:
If SelectZipcode and SelectZipcode <> recordZipcode
return(Record:Filtered)
End
If SelectState and selectstate <> recordstate
return(Record:Filtered)
End
(more checks here)
Return(Record:Ok)
This was very easy to convert my old code to, and worked like a charm.
The guys on the topspeed forum on Compuserve gave me the scoop to make
it work.
