Search and tokens

[Sam Laundon]

Another token question. I want to create a search with the search field hidden and use a token as the field to search. In this example I am using the record ID as the token. I have not been able to get the search to search that token record Id. What happens is the search results give me the first record id in the database not the specific record id that the token indicates (example: the token shows record id 027, but when I get to the search results the record id is 004 - the first record in the database. How do I create a search using the -token record id that will return a search on that specific record id.

Once again, thanks for your help

Record ID and recid are inherent to FileMaker. Change the name of your field to something like dbid (you can always identify it on the layout with any name you want, but refer to it in your codes as dbid).

Then your link might include something like ...&dbid=[fmp-currenttoken.3]...

Would this work for you:

<input type="hidden" name="-recid" value="[FMP-CurrentToken]">

Where the CurrentToken is the the 'Record ID' you are finding.

All the best.
