Re: Default Value for Where Clause in Datasource



I've done this any number of ways but I like using <all> or somesuch as a value in a permissible dropdown list of valid arguments. The query's WHERE clause simply tests for this alternative value or a specific value. And Bob is right. This the ADO classic list.

Hi all,

I have a textbox and want to populate my datagrid using a LIKE clause from
what is in the textbox. This works fine, however, if the textbox is empty, I
would like it to return all rows. I was looking into setting the default
value to do this, but have had no luck so far in finding an answer.

Does anyone have any advice for this?
