Customizing Filters Discussion

Hi all. The folks at my current project are obsessed with creating
customized filters. I tried showing and telling them about Filter By
Selection and Filter By Form which will probably outdo any
functionality of what we customize but no luck. It's a bit annoying
on one hand but at the same time keeps me busy - can't complain.

The first, more simple task is to select one of about 8 sales reps,
select a filter of >=1000 on one column and >0% on another, all
applied at once. I'm not sure how the code would look or what
approach to take. Some of my experimenting didn't allow me to select
all three at once - it was one or the other.

The second issue is - is this really the way to go. I'm sure once
some of the main concepts are down, customizing text boxes and option
groups are a breeze. Are there certain commands which are commonly
used? Is there programming in which I can replicate the functionality
of Filter By Selection and Filter By Form which I could make more user
friendly and place in the header of the form.

Alot of the resources I have been using seem to assume you would use
the pre-made filter commands. fun, fun, fun.

I assume we are talking about filtering a data source for something? A
query? So what is not working in an SQL like

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE SalesRep = "John Doe" AND NumHappyCustome rs
= 1000 AND PercentOfReturn s > 0
I guess using the term "filtering" without the target object is throwing
me off. In my simple mind, "filtering" pertains to a report, form, etc.

Hi I'm wondering what is the best way to design localized applications. The SDK says I should use ResourceManager and satellite assemblies. However, there is a severe pitfall doing this.

I'm not going doing this, because I would have to keep all the versions I sold. I want customer to customize the...

How good is the C language for implementing maps, filters and accumulators? SCHEME programmers would be able to pass procedures as arguments quite easily, whereas C programmers would - I guess - have use variadic function pointers which is frankly disgusting, and I'm not even sure I want to sit down and hack at the language in that way. Your thoughts? Any libraries you could refer me to?

I have a report that opens up using a pretty complex query. I then pop up a form with combo boxes so the user can apply a filter to the existing report and then refresh the report.

The reports datasource is the original query. Right now I have this and get the datasheet format, but I...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
