Hi,
We are using 2009 SP1 RTC client. We have created Sales order of 15 Lines, now we want to filter only 5 line for some modification. Is there any way to filter data in subform?

Thanks & Regards,

    :-k no, that's funny...i've never noticed it, but only because i've never needed it...
    they're just 15 lines, choose your 5 and modify them...

    I do see the need for subfiltering some salesorders can have 100's of lines.

    We plan to add subpage filtering in V7.

    :thumbsup: good to know, thanks!i hope they'll be also easy to insert (normal filtering is now a bit slow and difficult to do)

    What is slow in filtering today? Typing the filter og getting the data. I suppose the last.

    Sorry, i should have said it. Typing of filter is difficult, if you want to filter a column which filter is not activated through ctrl+f, you have to expand the filter pane, click add filter, select the column (suppose you're in item ledger entry table, with roughly 70 fields). Type the filter, hit enter.
    take a look at this topic, too :wink:

    And alt-F3 in a given column/row is not good enough? I understand examples with * cannot be used by alt-F3 and it will give a tablescan. Especially when the * is in the beginning the performance is not good.

    alt+f3 can filter only visible columns, and (more important) it's not always true that i want to filter the column for the current value, but it is more likely that i want to filter for a different value (because i've already found the record with the current value :mrgreen: ).
    Example:
    i am on sales invoice list and i want to filter for location code = yellow
    WITH FORM: ctrl+f7,type loc,TAB,yellow and click ok
    WITH PAGE(fastest option): find the "location code" column, hit alt+f3 while on location code column (this can generate an unwanted query if i am on a line with location code = RED), hit ctrl+f, type yellow and enter

    it gets worse if i have to add a filter on another field, because i have to expand the filter pane, select the field i want through mouse clicking, and type the value (with forms, a single ctrl+f7 would have solved every possible filter).
