QUERY([Invoices];[Invoices]Retail>100)
If(User in group(Current user(4D user account);"Executive"))
//4D user account parameter is necessary if you
//use 4D user aliases in your application
FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Executive Output")
FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Executive Input")
Else
FORM SET OUTPUT([Invoices];"Standard Output")
FORM SET INPUT([Invoices];"Standard Input")
End if
