Got it. In the Dashboard, do a properties and click on the Filter Tab.
Select QuoteNum on the left, set the condition to "=", and set the right
side to Dashboard Browse (at the bottom of the list and set the field to the
QuoteNum or whatever field that you're passing in.)

I've added a to the Quote Entry form that launches a BAQ I've
written. The BAQ runs fine, but doesn't know to only select the
Quote i'm working on. I get all the Quotes in the system.

How do I pass the QuoteNum of the loaded quote to the BAQ, so that
only that quote prints? I'm using the following code to launch the
BAQ:

Private Sub btnPrintQQWorksheet_Click(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal
Args As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrintQQWorksheet.Click
'// ** Place Event Handling Code Here **

dim opts as LaunchFormOptions = New LaunchFormOptions()

'// MessageBox.Show("Quote Number: " + otrans.QuoteNum)

opts.ValueIn = "Quote WS"
ProcessCaller.LaunchForm(oTrans, "UDQQWS", opts)
End Sub

Thanks,

Calvin

Hi Calvin,

Instead of using code, could you do what Vantage does and make a Tracker?
Create a Dashboard with your BAQ and make sure that your "Like" field is set
to QuoteNum then set it up in Context Menu Maintenance to have your
Dashboard show up in the "Open With" popup menu. I'm still not sure how to
pass the QuoteNum to the Dashboard. Obviously Vantage does it for all
Trackers which are just Dashboards. Maybe you need the SDK or maybe someone
else knows how to do it.

Food for thought,
