 Rivers Report

Records selected: 



Counting records 

 4 records counted. Press enter. 



Figure 9. Counting Records 



Even though there were only four records found, let's change the above 

 retrieval to make it more restrictive and reduce the number of records retrieved. 



2.2 Searching by River Name and County 



In the search just completed four Rattlesnake Creeks were found. If you're 

 looking for a specific creek, for example, the Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula 

 County, there is no need to retrieve all of the other records. It is possible to 

 make the above search more specific by limiting it to Missoula county. 



SELECTING THE REPORT CONTENT. To modify the first retrieval 

 choose the 'Select/Change the report content' option. Select Counties and 

 the following screen will appear (Figure 10):

Figure 10. Include or Exclude Counties in Report 



The program is asking you to tell it whether the counties you will select will 

 be included in the retrieval, or excluded from the retrieval. If you select include, 

 counties you choose will be marked and the search will be limited to those 

 counties. If you choose exclude, counties selected will be marked and the 

 program will not retrieve records in those counties. Most of the time, the 

 include selection is preferred. 



Choose Include by typing the letter I and a new screen with a list of counties 

 will come up on your screen (Figure 11).
