Title: REQ: DB Expressions hard to find
Post by: Marty3d on July 25, 2005, 06:00:19 pm

Hi!

I sometimes want to do a smartlist / View Scheme or two using the new DB expressions. But every single time, I forgot where to look after the reference, so I end up searching through a couple of hundred results here on the board.

Even though I finally bookmarked that page that contains the reference, is it possible to revise the help file for MC to include the expressions? And perhaps ALL search parameters, like ~mix and others that's missing.

Thanks!
/Martin

It's a good suggestion.  Thanks.  But next time you need them, check the FAQ here:

I nominate the two eagle scouts for MC11, Alex B and Marko, to the (joint) post of DB Expression Editor".  There ought to be a way to collect a top 10 or 20 handy expression somewhere that they could be cut/pasted inot users programs.  This functionality is one of the selling points of MC11, and yet it really is hard to find any examples.  JimH--could jriver possibly post a top20 in a way that doesn't require a fox hunt?

That's the one linked from the FAQ.
