Insert Command

The insert command is used to insert data into the various tables.  To INSERT a new record, type over the currently displayed record with the new record information and then click on the INSERT button.  Unlike many applications, this INSERT process does not provide a blank record for adding new records.  Instead, an existing record is used as a template for the new record to be added.  The existing record is not changed and a lot of typing can be avoided by using an existing record that is similar to the new record to be added.  You may press the F5 key, instead of the INSERT button to cause an insert.

Enter QBE Command

The Enter QBE command is used to create a query to select certain records to be displayed.  Click the QBE button and all fields are blanked and the button text is changed to "Do Query".  Enter your query criteria.

Query criteria consist of a value preceded by one of the following operators:

=	Equal to

<>	Not equal to

>	Greater than

>=	Greater than or equal to

<	Less than

<=	Less than or equal to

$	Contains

If no query criteria is specified, equal to (=) is assumed.

All the query operators, except $, work by comparing the specified query criteria to the left-most portion of the record data.  The $ operator, Contains, works by scanning the record data to determine if the specified query criteria occurs anywhere within the record data.  The $ operator can not be used with the following fields:  Quantity, Property Cost, Claim, Purchase Date, Warranty Date, Additional Information, and Insurance Limit.  The $ operator consumes more system resources than the other query operators.

The Ignore Case on Query option on the main menu determines how the specified query criteria is compared to the record data.  When selected, the case of the characters is ignored when determining if the two strings match, i.e. an "A" equals an "a".  When not selected, the case of the characters is considered when determining if the two strings match, i.e. an "A" does NOT equal an "a".

After you have entered your query criteria, click on the Do Query button.  All records matching your query criteria will be returned and the button text is changed to "Enter QBE" .  At this point, you can do all commands; i.e., insert, update, delete/recall, next, previous, and qbe.

If your query returns no records, a message box is displayed asking if you want to return all records or specify new query criteria.
