Mike --
Basically what you want to do is this:
c4_StringProp pZip("zipCode");
c4_StringProp pLastName("lastName");
c4_Storage store("mystore.db",true);
c4_View v = store.GetAs("addresses[zipCode:S,lastName:S]");
c4_View vs = v.Select(pZip["20005"] + pLastName["Skrzpzcak"]);
This will create a view vs that will have only records that match the
values "20005" and "Skrzpzcak". Keep in mind that this is a virtual
view, so you can't remove records from it. If you want to remove the
records, you need to do something like v.RemoveAt(v.GetIndexOf(vs[0]))
to dereference the first record of vs into the base view v.
Hope this helps.
