Clearing selection criteria. In this example, we want to search by Water 

 Code. If you select the Water Code option and enter a code without first clearing 

 all previous selections, you will wind up searching by both the final value and 

 county selections of the previous search, and the water code you enter now. Your 

 search will be unsuccessful, unless you happen to choose a water code for a 

 stream found in Beaverhead County with final values of 1 in both Fish and 

 Wildlife. Again, as a rule, it is a very good idea to clear the old search criteria 

 before vou begin a new search. 



If you are unsuccessful in a search where you are fairly certain there should 

 be information, select 'Display the report designed' from the opening screen 

 to make sure you have not forgotten to clear previous search conditions. 



Clear the Final Value and County restrictions by choosing 'Clear all 

 selections' and the program will tell you 'All record restrictions have been 

 cleared. Press enter'. Once you press Enter the previous screen (Figure 21) 

 will return.
