Antony,

SGSV does allow you to pass a string via the query string.. It is typically used to pass the ItemID of some record, but in fact can be just about anything (except SQL) ... so the format is [QUERY:<keyname><:default_value>]. The default value is optional, but if supplied will be used if the keyname and keyvalue are not present in the query string.

Not sure what "condition" you want to pass, but you can place the subsitution variable in the primary select or one of the filter selections.

Hope this helps
Paul.

Antony,

Yes SGSV does allow you to use the ...?condition1=true on the request string. You do need to check the processing option ""Check Request String for Default Values" for the option to work .. this is a security issue -- I don't check the request string unless I am asked to.

Let me know if you have any problem with this...

Paul.

Think I have figured it out. Could be a bug.

I had the 'Select Before First Display' processing option selected. Thinking that this would apply if there wasn't a querystring or 'remember selections' was selected. Unselect it and both the querystring and remember selections options start working.

IMHO the process should be (assuming each are enabled):

1. Check for query string if so run query with query string
2. Check for remembered selections if so run query with remembered selections.
3. Check if Select before first Display is active, if so run with that.
4. run query with no parms/ options

As a follow on it would be nice that if any Options/Parms are used as a result of 1 or 2 it shows which to the user. At the moment they are left blank.
