MONTANA RIVERS INFORMATION SYSTEM 

 Rivers Report 



Note that quotation marks are only needed for character fields. Since 

 TE_VAL is a numeric field, no quotation marks are needed. Once you finish 

 typing the expression, press return and the system will check to see whether your 

 expression is a valid dBase expression. An error message will appear if you have 

 made a mistake and you will have to re-enter the expression correctly before the 

 system will allow you to continue. If you are unable to enter a valid expression, 

 erase the entire expression and press the Enter key. 



If the sjmtax is correct, the first Design Your Own Query screen (Figure 26) 

 will return. You could select another database at this point and enter another 

 expression which would be executed in conjunction with the previous expression. 

 For the example we've chosen, simply hit the exit key to return you to the 

 previous screen (Figure 28), shown below.
