Currently you cannot unfortunately. This is something I hope to
implement, but is not nearly as straightforward with wxWindows as it was
in Visual Basic.

:-) I haven't used pgAccess since about 1997, so cannot comment on it's
capabilities. Entering of sort/filter parameters does seem useful
though. I'll take a look at that as well.

So it is :-( That's odd. I'll check that out as well (you shouldn't have
to do anything).
