TO RUN THE SRCHDLOG CUSTOM LOOKUP DEMO:

1. Create a directory anywhere on your system - for illustration 
we'll call it C:\DEMO, but you can make it anything (no long
file names, please!) and anywhere.

2. Extract all the SRCHDLOG.ZIP files to that directory.

* DO NOT EXTRACT ANY OF THESE FILES TO THE PARADOX SAMPLE DIRECTORY *

There are two forms:

   ORDER.FSL      -  this form accesses the included ORDERS.DB
                     and LINEITEM.DB tables;  code on the 
                     ORDERS.CustID field's action method
                     traps DataLookup actions and calls the
                     custom lookup form

   LU_CUST.FSL    -  this is a modal dialog form that accesses
                     the demo table CUSTOMER.DB

There are five tables:

   ORDERS.DB      -  a list of orders
   LINEITEMS.DB   -  order line items, related 1:Many to ORDERS.DB
   CUSTOMER.DB    -  a list of customers
   PYMTMETH.DB    -  a short list of allowable payment method values
   SHIPVIA.DB     -  a short list of allowable shipper values


3. Start Paradox and change the working directory to the same 
directory (for example, C:\DEMO).

4. Run the script StartCustomLookupDemo.

The demo form will open.  Go into edit mode, move to the
CustID field, and press Ctrl+Spacebar - the lookup form opens.

The Read Me button toggles the display of a screen of text that briefly describes
the custom lookup operations.
