Avoiding the return key in finding script?

Hi!

Does anyone know if it is possible to avoid users to hit the return-key during a find records script step?

I've created a db of contacts, and when the user hits my find button the db switches to a new find-layout via a script. After entering the find criterias the user is supposed to hit my own "perfom find" button that trickers a new script, that shows the results in a list mode in another layout.

My problem: Users are used to hitting the return-key (on the web search-engines and other places) after entering the find criterias - but the result is just a "normal" find procedure in the same layout. Can I force FM to ignore the return-key input?

Thanx

Merge "prepareFind" and "myPerformFind" scripts into one script separating them with an infinite Pause step.

Instead of attaching script myPerformFind to "Find" button attach it Resume Script step.

Now, either hitting Enter or clicking the button the pause will be aborted and script will continue performing find. cool.gif
