Can someone please try the seedcode iwp demo and see if you can filter on title. Then try to clear the filter.
Excuse me if I'm doing something really stupid. I had a friend try it from his PC and couldn't get it to work either.
The demo was down for a while so just bought the program before trying it. I'm really frustrated that version I purchased seems to have the same issue.

Hi Scott,
I've made a couple changes to the demo to make the filters work better. Let me know if you think this is better and I'll send you notes about how to make the change in your copy.

I did make it work this time. Here are a couple comments
It appears the the filters work to constrain the current found set based on the date range. That is not intuitive although if the dates and and other filters were to changed on the same screen it would be obvious.
The other thing that threw me off was that in the title filter for example at least on PC, you must specifically highlight the "-" so that it does not end up as part of the filter criteria. Is there a way to select existing text when entering the field.
You can send me the changes you made. Since I was struggling with the couple issues I was not able to detect the changes you made.
One other question. I am using my main app that uses seedcode pro. When I set up the datasource from IWP, do I need to connect to the table occurrence Sample Events and Sample Contact or should the original tables work. I have test copy of my main app that has the Sample Events listed as an actual table Which I don't understand. My working copy has the TO Sample Events but it does not show as a Table as I would expect. When I try to connect to the datasource, I don't have access to the TO Sample Events.

I'm making a couple more changes to the code and will send that by Monday. (I think we'll get rid of the "-".)
As for the data sources, I'm not sure I follow your question, but could part of the issue be that you need IWP sharing turned on in the events file?
Send more details and I'll try to help,
John

Have you had a chance to look at the IWP code changes?
Thanks

Yes Scott. We have both changes to the filter scripts which we'll post on Monday if you'd like to modify your copy, and a new build that you can use in place of the one you have: if you haven't modified yours too heavily.

Where would I find those posted changes? If I download the new build, do I need a new user name password. The one I used when I purchased the program no longer works.
Thanks
Scott

The download user name and pw expires in 72 hours. I just sent you a fresh download link. The change to the filter routine is here...
Edit the script "Save Filter Changes" and add a line to call the script "Find Events by Date Range" right after the third line (the go to layout line).
Then edit the script "Clear Activity Filters" and change the first two Set Field steps to set the fields to "" instead of to "-".
"" is just two quotes, no space between them.
You'll want to then run Clear Activity Filters before trying it out.
Hope that helps,
John
