Make sure the query is prepared and ideally just start a form out in search
mode. It is more or less the same as being in the prepared state, it just
tells the controls bound to receive search criteria into the datalink search
buffers.

Search criteria is not stored in the columns in case anyone wonders.

There should be a tech info sheet on this on my web-site. Among many other
topics that could be of interest.
