You have two ways to filter: Server and Client.
In the Server methodology, you would firther filter by taking another trip
to the server and issuing the proper SQL command. You can also use tricks,
like ADO filters, et al. (NOTE: .NET allows for multiple filters on a single
DataView, or the creation of different views for different purposes).
In the Client, you have to loop through data to reduce it. JavaScript arrays
created by your recordset are the most common. Realize, this is heavy
programming, can tax the browser and leads to rather weighty pages.

Hello all.. I'm working on an application that has a worklist of items for
users to work on. I'd like to, based on user security, to filter a
worklist based on between 1 and 8 items (i.e., location, category, alpha split).
That first part is no problem.. the problem is.. how to then allow that
user that is (for example) restricted to work 3 locations, to then further
filter that worklist to just one location?
Yes.. I can use the ADO filter.. but.. that won't work if you extend the
filter beyond one element (i.e., location and category).
Suggestions?
TIA
