TaurArian,

I bet you tried to give a link with Answered Questions pre-chosen?

Anyway I just noticed that nothing changes in the Address bar when
you use that control. How useful is that? It's probably one of those
empty terms that would do it but what the heck would the value be
even if we knew which one to modify?

Hmm... perhaps tracing it will show what's what...
Arg... I could have guessed. It's a client side filter!
Nothing goes out; therefore no clues about which terms
could be changed or what values they could have.

To get any further on this I will have to run a script debugger.
E.g. it's too hard to tell just looking at View Source if there
would be any mechanism for pre-selecting that filter.
Unfortunately this is a new partition and I haven't got one
installed yet.

Hmm... I got a bit further just using Notepad and findstr ;}
Somehow we need to call ShowFilter(1) but it's a "method"
so there's an Object involved...

I have a feeling this is going to be a lost cause. Pity.


FYI

Hi Robert, if you ever figure it out, let me know, sometimes it all just gets too
hard.
Hope you are having a good weekend.
