# 8.3. Using the filter

If you have too many datasets in your tables, queries or forms, it is possible to reduce them by temporarily setting a filter. The definition of the filter will not be saved. To use it you have to perform two steps

- define the filter

- activate the filter

The horizontal toolbar in every window contains the following 2 buttons

Figure 8-3. The filter toolbuttons

The left button is for defining a filter, the right one to activate/deactivate the filter. The activation button is only enabled once a filter has been defined.

To define a filter, press the filter definition button and enter a conditional statement. It has the same syntax as the "WHERE" syntax of SQL-statements.

Figure 8-4. The filter definition dialog

After you have closed the dialog, the filter activation button is enabled. Press it to activate the filter, press it again to deactivate the filter.
