Rule spacing.

numberz

Hi, I've been trying to get a handle on creating rules and noticed that sometimes the spacing is not always the same. For instance:
account.state='Open'
and
account.state = 'CLOSED'

The spacing between words and the = sign is different.
Does this not matter?

The good news is that you can space away to make it more readable for you. including adding blank lines, tabs, etc. However, after you do that, then the assist program (F3 on PC) might not be able to help you.

The bad news, is you can not do that on a query. I have some queries with very complex filtering and I wish it would leave the spacing that I enter. oh well.

Blomasky, thanks.
Which then leads me to the question...
Is there any documentation that explains the right way or wrong way to enter this info? You wrote that I could "space away" but that if I then hit the F3 key, it wouldn't be good? Is there a method or guideline that F3 follows?
Regards and thanks.

I haven't seen any documentation, but I noticed that if the line is indented (which I like to do after an If..Then), F3 doesn't work. So I'll do all my coding, then pretty it up after.
