Re: ? regarding Queries

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I have to do stuff like this I just jump on my idea dumb tube,
put 2's next to all of them, hit <Enter> then hit <record> and some
function key (such as <F6>) and do the
first one, <F3>, <enter> <enter> then I hit the Play key, then the
same function key I recorded, <F6>.  This creates a cyclic macro,
one that calls it self.  I then <play> it and use a jump screen to go to
another session to get some real work done.  I'll keep checking on it
now and then and eventually I see that it's hitting <f3> <enter> <enter>
on some menu screen since it finished all the queries.  I hold down
<alt> and press <reset> to stop the macro, and I'm all done.

If you can figure out how to do this in Client Access, go for it 8-)
