Hi,
NT 8, Clarion 8. 
I have a field on a form with a lookup.
I want to prime the Search on the Lookup with a value.
I can see the Parameters (n=v&n=v) in the Lookup Settings tab and I see that this is sent to the Lookup procedure.
QUESTIONS:
1. How to I capture this Parameter in the Lookup form  ( it is set to a passed Queue value that I can recover in the lookup procedure?
2. How do I use this Parameter to in essence "prime the search field" so that the Browse gets to the closest match?
TIA,
Ron Jolda

whatever is already typed by the user is actually passed to the lookup. However "locating" on that value becomes tricky. It's been on my to-do list for a while (although moved down a bit with the auto-complete feature which sorta does the same thing.)
