Query Form – Overview

Getting Started #

The TAD Query form is opened by any of the Selections buttons and the Options button on the TAD Ribbon.

Clicking any of those buttons will open the form below.

The top section mirrors most of the Selections buttons and Options button on the ribbon.

Depending on what you select, the bottom section may appear. That is the Query Editor where you can edit the structure (columns, joins, conditions) of the Table/Report.
