Subject Re: [IBO] Searching within a TIB_Query?
Author Chef
Hi Chris,

just use:

>>>
if IB_Query1.Locate( 'YourIDFieldName', iYourIDValue, [] ) then
ShowMessage( 'Found !' );
<<<
or
>>>
IB_Query1.Locate( 'Field1;Field2', VarArrayOf([Value1, Value2]), [] );
// I'm not sure if it is "VarArrayOf()" or "VarArrayCreate() - I have no
Delphi at hand.
<<<

HTH,
Markus
