hi everyone, yesterday i've had hard time while trying to explain to an end user the difference between a flowfilter and a normal fieldfilter...i tried in all the ways i thought...taking item table as an example, fieldfiltering on inventory, and then also flowfiltering on it (through location code filter), to let him see the results...

I think it's because FlowField isn't clear. Otherwise I would have doubts that she gets her job in a normal way.

yes, it's hard to explain flowfields, and this makes harder flowfilters, too...i think it's just a matter of time...
i'm trying to fix the concept of table, record, field, primary key, up to now...back to square one 0 -
another one difference is...
flowfilter can only use for flowfield while fieldfilter use for field either it simple or flowfield.0 -
Try with a small example on paper.
-table 27 with 2 or 3 items with flowfield "Inventory" and the flowfilter fields.
-table 32 with some records in it with location code and explain what how "Inventory" changes with the different filters in the flowfilters (and also normal filters)Regards,Alain Krikilion
