Each Selection Model can have additional       
characteristics that affect the way it         
executes.  The @1@Store Transaction Selection  
Model@0@ allows you to specify each of the     
additional characteristics.                    
                                               
There are some types of transactions that      
you'll want to view on a regular basis.  The   
most common one many people will want to view  
is the last check # currently entered into     
MEGA-Check 2, so they'll know easily where     
they left off in entering checks.  Another     
more remote selection might be you wish to see 
when the last time you spent money on a        
particular account, like groceries, or gifts,  
and possibly even gifts for a particular       
person.                                        
                                               
Like other model types, the @4@interactive@0@  
feature of Selection models will make it very  
easy to dynamically customize your selection.  
This can be done by simply clicking on the     
part of the Selection criteria that will vary  
in the @1@Ask for Select Value@0@ window.  A   
small panel will pop up asking you to enter    
the @8@question@0@ you want MEGA-Check 2 to    
ask you that will cause you to fill in         
appropriate value you want to search for at    
the time the model is activated.               
                                               
For example, let's say you want to view the    
Transaction for a particular check # easily.   
The model for this is included on the program  
disk.  Simply set up your selection criteria   
(via the @1@Select Transactions@0@ panel) to   
read:                                          
                                               
  CKNO	  EQ                                    
                                               
That's it!  Don't enter any value in the       
Select val column because we'll be asking it.  
You could enter a value and that value would   
become the default answer for the question.    
But selecting check #'s is something so varied 
that perhaps we don't want a default in this   
case.                                          
                                               
To tell MEGA-Check 2 to prompt us for the      
check # when we activate the model we simply   
click on the top line of selection criteria in 
the @1@Ask for Select Value@0@ window and a    
small panel will pop up asking us to enter the 
@8@question@0@ that will enable us to remember 
what to enter for an answer.  You see, when    
this model is activated, a context sensitive   
question pertaining to searching for a         
particular check # would be much more helpful  
than a generic question.  A question like      
"What check # do you want to see?" would be    
fine.                                          
                                               
Later, when you want to see a particular check 
#, select the "Go to check #" model and        
MEGA-Check 2 will present you with the         
question, "What check # do want to see?"  The  
answer you provide will be plugged into the    
@1@Select Transactions@0@ panel and the        
@1@First@0@ or @1@Last@0@ transaction with     
that check # will be selected, depending on    
which button was selected when the model was   
saved.                                         
                                               
More than one field can be asked for a         
selection model.  When more than one question  
needs to be answered to complete the selection 
criteria, they are asked in sequence.          
                                               
In addition, when a model prompts you with a   
question, if the Select value being asked for  
is a @4@listable@0@, you can right click the   
mouse and the appropriate Selector will pop up 
allowing you to make a selection via mouse     
from a list.  As usual, all of the table       
maintenance features on that selector can be   
used (Add, Change, Delete, etc.) at that       
time.  If you decide to use the keyboard when  
a listable field is being asked for,           
MEGA-Check 2 will Auto Complete the field for  
you.
