Yes I have done table loops with a filter and yes you have to do a refresh table as part of the work flow. Roger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 12:29 PM Subject: Table Looping in a filter
Hi listers, I am trying to loop though a table in a filter. First, is this even possible? (I haven't done anything like this before) I am trying to count the number of times something shows up in a table, however, it is not working. This is how I have set it up 1) I have a filter that fires on submit/modify of the form that the table is on: a) sets up some counters (outboundmessagecount = 0, loopcount = 1). b) Calls a filter guide with a Table Loop on the table I want to loop though. 2) The Filter Guide calls one filter (below) 3) Filter that loops through the table: Loops though the table if columnName = "Outbound" AND loopcount < 3 (*I want to see if the first 2 rows of the table are "Outbound" messages* *- this is the end goal of doing this - I want an integer value with this number*). a) If Action - outboundmessagecount = outboundmessagecount + 1 loopcount = loopcount + 1 b) Else Action - loopcount = loopcount + 1 All I get is loopcount = 2 and outboundmessagecount = 0 , so the If Action never fires. Is this because the table has to be refreshed before it can "read" from the table? How do you do this from a filter? Help.
