Find on multiple layouts

I have a database that has 3 different layouts that I use for inventory.

(1) Consignment Vehicles

(2) State Vehicles

(3) Miscellaneous

Is there a way to do a find on the ID_NO and have it look in all three layouts to see if it is there?

Hi,

Use relationships for that purpose.

Well, not sure what your file structure may look like, but if all records in this file are attached to a value list field (with these three categories), you should create a selfjoin with g_record_ID::Record_ID where g_record_ID is a global field used for the search.

Then use a script :

If IsValid(your relationship)

Go to Related records (show only related)

External script (same file)

If Category = "Consignment Vehicles"

Go to layout "Consignement Vehicles"

End if

If Category = "State Vehicles"

Go to layout "State Vehicles"

End if

If Category = "Miscellaneous"

Go to layout "Miscellaneous"

End if

End If

Else

Message = "No matches for this ID)
