Interaction of the Select Expert and the Formula
Editor

The Select Expert and the Record/Group Selection Formula Editor are
interactive. That is, record selection criteria you enter via the Select Expert
automatically generates a record selection formula which can be reviewed
and modified. Likewise, record selection formulas and modifications to existing
record selection formulas automatically update the selection criteria in the
Select Expert.

Because of this interactivity, you can use the two tools together as a tutorial
for learning the formula language.

2.

Click Select Expert.
