G'Day All,

And with hints from Dennis elsewhere it all makes sense.

When one points at the filter button, the tooltip is telling you that the spot log is/is not being filter.

If Show ALL is checked. The second line of the tooltip is gone - no filter applied to the spot log.

If Show All is NOT checked, the spot log is being filtered to reflect the the other settings one has made on the Options panel of the Spot Log form.

Filter:(modest>=thisform.spot_level or bandst>=thisform.spot_level or mixedst >= thisform.spot_level or bandmodest >= thisform.spot_level)

thisfrm.spot_level comes from the "spot level" section of the options panel. (Now its obvious!!!!)

modest(atus) bandst(atus) mixedst(atus) and bandmodest(atus) come from examining the spot and the log, and the spot will only appear if any of these values exceeed the "spot level" selected on the Options panel.

From the spot data, and by searching through one's QSO log, each status item takes the values ...

* Fulfilled = 0
* Requested = 1
* Worked = 2
* Unworked = 3

Thanks again Dennis. Great work. Love how Logic works. The only limitation is ME!

Having the same problem here :-( Let me look at it. Likely not something you did.

Tnx Dennis

I really thought I had changed something I shouldn't have. Thanks for the very quick response and update.

thisform.needed is what is done internally to show only needed items. We were getting errors when the quick filter expression got too long, so we rolled the expression needed to see if something is needed or not into a form method. It has been this way for a while as I recall.

Thanks,
