appears and you are returned to Query mode to enter a<br />

different query or modify the current one.<br />

The hit list is a subset of the complete database.<br />

can be stopped in this manner. SQL searches and searches<br />

that involved non-structural data cannot be aborted.<br />

Refining a Search<br />

You can refine a hit list of one or more records by<br />

entering a query that searches only the hit list, not<br />

the entire database.<br />

To refine a search:<br />

List is selected.<br />
