Using Forms to achieve sorting/filtering

[temuyin]

Hi,

I´m new to foms, just wanted to check if what I would like to achieve is possible with forms before I start dig into it...

What I would like to achieve is to filter the content of a table based on the content of specific cells in that table.
E.g a table with a column named [Model], in which the user can select between different models on a combobox,/ check box basis. Upon printing the document I would like to print only the rows in the table in which a specific Model has been selected.

I know this is possible with Calc, but I´m looking for similar functionality in Writer.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there are other way to achieve this?

best regards

t.

I'm not experience enough with forms to offer a useful answer... but I bet I know who is. Try asking in the Macros and API forum. Good luck!

(If you do get some useful help there, could you post a link here to that thread?)
