I'm using FM 12 after most of my databases were created in FM 11 and I had to upgrade for Yosemite (yes I'm old school), but I can't get finds to work as I want them to. If I create a simple find script such as;

Go to Layout

Enter Find Mode [pause] --- to manually enter search terms

Perform Find

Go to Layout..

What happens is that when I type in the search string and hit the Enter or Return keys, nothing happens. The blue Continue button is there but not responding to the keyboard.

A similar thing happens when I search on a multifield page - the Enter key just tabs to the next field where it used to trigger the search in FM 11.

 

Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on here?

 

Can you post the actual script? ( also, check the settings on your fields in the Inspector>Data tab..you'll want to uncheck Go to Next Object using the Enter key).

Hi Bob,

Print your script to Preview and then Copy it and Paste that to a reply using the Code Option above (this <> above)

That way we can see better what the problem is.

TIA

That was the issue! Thanks. Driving me nuts trying to work out what was going on. Thanks for your assistance.
