• Current record only :

  Create a query that returns just one record - the current record.

• Range of record numbers :

  Create a query that returns all of the records between a specified starting and ending record number.

• Range of key values :

  Create a query that returns all records between a specified starting and ending key value. For example, if the current primary index is Lastname, you could specify a starting key of "Jones" and an ending key of "Kelly"

• Selected record numbers :

  Create a query that returns records with specified record numbers. For example, 10, 23, 56, 123

• Selected key values :

  Create a query that returns records with specified key values. For example, if the current primary index is Lastname, you could specify a query to return, "Jones, James, Johnson, Abrams".
