PRB: Query Filter Has No Effect When Output to Report

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0
• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

When running a query created by the Query Designer with report as the output destination, the filter condition does not take effect in the report.

RESOLUTION

Remove any view or table in the report's DataEnvironment; otherwise, the report uses the table or view instead of the results in the cursor that the query creates.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
