    I have a form with a smart business entity adapter, a smartbindingsource and a smartviewer. We are not using a smart data browser to allow the user to see all records. This is a form in our tablet application where the user scans a barcode and the item record is displayed on the form where the user can update certain fields.

    So, I am not calling ItemAdapter:RetrieveData in the CONSTRUCTOR. Instead, when the barcode is scanned or key entered I am doing the following;

    cWhereString = "WHERE eItem.ItemNum = " + QUOTER (cItemNum) + " AND eItem.PackNum = 1". // eventually use scanner input
      
    THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:EmptyDatasetOnRetrieveData = TRUE.
    THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:BatchSize = 1. // we only want one record
    THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:PrefetchOnFindRowWhere = 0.
    THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:FindRowWhere (cWhereString, FindRowWhereModeEnum:FindOnServerOnly).

    The above code works but there are always two records that are fetched. Is there a way to make sure there is only one record that is returned? 

    Is there a better way to handle this?

    BatchSize = 1 does not work. After fetching a single record, the Progress.Data.BindingSource will fetch the next record, because it realizes it was already on the last record available on the client.

    Use BatchSize = 2 instead - or a unique query that only returns a single record.

    I am using a unique query. There is only one record that matches my query.

    For example. my query is "WHERE eItem.ItemNum = 13 AND eItem.PackNum = 1". 

    There is a unique index on the Item table for ItemNum and PackNum.

    After I call FindRowWhere if I dump the dataset to disk it contain not only ItemNum of 13 but the Item record following it (14)

    THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:FindRowWhere (cWhereString, FindRowWhereModeEnum:FindOnServerOnly)

    Ok. Did you try setting the Business Entity Adapter's QueryString property to 

    FOR EACH <eTempTableName> WHERE <unique record criteria>

    and then call RetrieveData?

    Ah, seems to work. The xml on disk only has the one record and the THIS-OBJECT:ItemAdapter:RecordPosition returns "OnlyRecord".

    Let me do a bit more testing.

    thanks

    Okay, this works for my ItemAdapter where the dataset is limited to the unique record.

    This ItemAdapter is also the LinkDataSource for another adapter (HistoryTotsAdapter) that uses ForeignFields = "ItemNum,ItemNum,PackNum,PackNum" as well as well as QueryString = HistoryTots.Period = "M" AND. This HistoryTotsAdapter is the LinkDataSource for a SmartDataBrowse. If I use the QueryString on the ItemAdapter I see no records in the SDB. However, in reviewing the appserver logs the client query, default query and prepare query seem identical. 

    This is without using the QueryString on the ItemAdapter

    This is with using the QueryString on the ItemAdapter

    As a follow up if I add a call to HistoryTotsAdapter:RetrieveData in the ultratab:ActiveTabChanged I then see the records. If you look at the appserver logs you can see RetrieveData was called twice.
