Tagged Records Can Be Used in Queries

When creating a query in the query wizard, the field selection now includes TagField. 

You can individually tag records in the Product or Vendor browses, then create a 
query where TagField is equal to 1 (checked). The logic of the query is - Show all 
the records in a browse or report that are  tagged (or export all the records that 
are tagged in the Import/Export program).

If checkbox is unchecked, TagField is equal to 0, and the logic of the query is - 
Show all the records in a browse or report that are not tagged. Save the query and 
use it in reports or the export program.
