Hey Stephen... If all else fails there are always old reliable macros...
Here is one scenario of what you could do: 1) Record a macro with an advanced query statement filled out. 2) Edit the macro with notepad and replace the query string with your prompt enclosed in dollar signs: TEST 2 Set-schema: INAC:CFG:DATA:MNT:Menu_Items_Systemelry-58c Query: $ENTER QUERY STRING$ Form-open: Form-entry-list: 0 Form-final: modify@ end 3) Create a form that would have a field (i.e. "Advanced String") to store your advanced query strings. 4) Create a way for your user to make different Advanced String selections (i.e. a menu); therefore, once a menu choice is made the "Advanced String" would be populated. 5) You could then use a button to activate an active link that would run a macro that would use your Advanced String field as a parameter in the macro that you edited. Just tried it - seems to work ok... A little old-fashioned, but I think it should work (just remember that workflow that fires macros reduces efficiency).... Good Luck bud...
