WELCOME! A Better Lookup -- Version 2.6 and 4.1 The PD Lookup Tool Kit provides an alternative browse button look up technique for Clarion for Windows. The library fills in fields with the closest matching record you type. Use a double mouse click, look up button, or AltDown to call browse. Scroll through the file while in the entry field with up and down arrows. Hide, disable, or show the button when the field is not selected. Speed data entry by Skiping the button when moving to the next field. Create entries with non matching fields in the lookup file. Easily add display and prime form fields. Disable lookups or selected update fields when changing a form. This demo is compiled in Clarion 4 History Version 4.1 * Compiled with Clarion 4 Final Release * Templates provided for ABC and Clarion chains. * Duplicate views eliminated where more than one lookup into same file.
