Doing a Find in a tab interface

[oilman]

Hi All

I have created a tab interface (seven layouts) to complete a two page form. The first layout is a menu and instruction page. I tried to add a find button to the fist layout with no success. I wrote a scrpit and attached it to the button. When you enter a serial number and then push the button, the message "enter a valid criteria" appears.

The script example:

Go to layout tab2

Enter find mode

insert calculated results[select,gfind,Serialno)

preform find

The serial number is on the second layout

gfind is formatted as a global field

The message appears on the first layout. The goto layout tab2 does not happen until the message appears and you click one of the button in the message.

What is wrong

Thanks

Do you possibly have the fields reversed? I believe the format for the script step is "Insert Calculated Results([select], targetField, dataValue). Based on the field names above it looks like you are trying to paste a serial number value into a global find field instead of the global find field into the serial number field.

You are right- tried it out and it works
