Hi Andy,
I am newbie to remedy..but as far as i see..the filter will fire..lets analyze
this.
Lets say AssignedConfigTech=ALEX, DB.AssignedConfigTech=James. Now lets
consider your scenario where the form is saved without a change being made the
AssignedConfigTech field. So lets put values in qualification now.
( 'AssignedConfigTech' != $NULL$ ) AND ( 'DB.AssignedConfigTech' !=
'TR.AssignedConfigTech')
is equivalent to this
(ALEX!=NULL) AND (JAMES!=NULL)...which is true!!!
Even if we consider the DB value to be ALEX, then also it would be
(ALEX!=NULL) AND (ALEX!=NULL) which is again true!!!
as you did not change value in AssignedConfigTech, TR value is going to be
NULL. Hence your filter will fire.
Hope this explains.
Also, just to make an important point here..TR!=DB is always going to be
true(by default) if you dont touch the field...so better use
'AssignedConfigTech'!='DB.AssignedConfigTech' to compare actual values.
Well, if I am wrong..you guys can always forgive mistake made by a new born
baby :))
Thanks
Chintan.

I have a filter that sends a notification based on the qualification
statement:
( 'AssignedConfigTech' != $NULL$ ) AND ( 'DB.AssignedConfigTech' !=
'TR.AssignedConfigTech')
If I am reading the statement correctly, the filter should not fire unless
the AssignedConfigTech is changed.
This filter is firing when the form is saved without a change being made the
AssignedConfigTech field.
There is a value in the field, so its != $NULL$, but no change is being made
to the field so it should not meet the criteria.
