Hi,

I have a block based on a procedure. I would like to enable enter query mode to allow any column on the block to be queried. How can this be done?

The only way i can think of is to pass each column as a paremeter to the stored procedure and then re-query the block. Surely there is a more effecient way than this?

Consider switching to another data source type (a table or a view); they are much easier to handle.

Anyway: you'll have to populate data block's

query data source type = Procedure
query data source name = your_procedure_name
query data source columns = columns procedure returns (have a look at this message I previously posted)
query data source arguments = parameters you pass to the procedure

Querying works as usual: enter query mode, enter search criteria, execute query; Forms will pass items' values to the procedure and return the result.

Which is to say, yes, if you want to use all columns in enter-query mode then you need to pass a parameter for each column.

Thanks for your replies. It is an existing form already using a procedure.
I will just add another parameter to the procedure.
