The following items are checked:
Correct quoting of values and field names
Correct usage of parameters and global variables
Validusage of op erators

If you encounter errors in syntax, try creating the expression using the lists and operator buttons
rather than typing the expression manually. This method automatically adds the proper quotes
for fields and values.
