OK, I think I finally figured it out, but I'm not sure why it works this way. If I put a Pause with a duration .01 seconds after the Go To command, then it works as expected.

I just cleaned up my report by using Merge fields, and it's all very pretty now. However I've noticed now that if I click Find, I can no longer select any of the fields. Can you not use Find with merged fields? Is there a way to create a separate layout that it switches to when using Find? Edit: Never mind. I realized I can still access it in Table view, just not in list view. Ahh, the vagaries of FMP.

Here's screenshots of the layouts, and here's a thorough explanation of what I'm trying to do and why: Â I have a time tracker that tracks multiple stages of a job. If a user clicks on one of the [...]TimeElapsed fields, it will take them to a new layout (screenshot 2) and allow them to manually enter a time. They then click Save, and it goes back to the original layout (screenshot 1). The problem is that if they scroll down and click to modify one of the timers lower on the page, when it swaps between layouts it goes back to the top of the layout, and they have to manually scroll down to get to it again. I'm trying to get the window to automatically scroll to the field they're modifying, but I'm not having any luck. Â I hope that helps. Â Â

I'm building out a job tracker that has individual timers on it. Due to the way it works, it pauses so the timers won't continue. The field is on the layout because it is visible to the user. I've tried using Go To Field [...], Go To Object [...] as well as Scroll Window [To Selection], but none of them works as I expect. I have plenty of records, so that isn't the issue either.

I'm trying to go to an object on a layer and having some trouble getting it to work as expected. Â Here's the relevant part of the script: Â Here's where you can see I have the object named appropriately on the same layout: Â When I run the script, everything else executes normally, but it doesn't go to the object. I also tried using Go to Field (as can also be seen in the script), but that didn't work either for some reason. Â Any thoughts as to what I might look at? Thanks for your help! Â Edit: Maybe I'm misunderstanding what Go To Object does. I'm trying to scroll down to where the item appears within the layout. It appears to be highlighting the object, but it isn't scrolling to it. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Sigh. I had it set to text. Sorry for the stupid question. It's still strange to me that it found it if I search for dates on either side. I double-checked all of my other fields and they're all correct, so I've got that going for me at least.

Thanks for the help. I'm working in List view now, and things are more as expected.

I'm doing a simple date range search on a report. I click Find, then click in the Creation Date field, which displays data in the MM/DD/YYYY format. I search for 3/1/2015…3/20/2015, and even though there are several records on 3/5/2015, it tells me no records match the search criteria. I assume I'm doing something stupid, but no idea what. I just tried searching for 3/4/2015…3/6/2015, and sure enough, all the 3/5/2015 records show up. Now I'm even more confused!

I've created a report with a Grand Leading Summary. The problem is, I'm getting a blank line above where it's printing the summary. See the attached screenshots. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? Thanks for your help! Â
