Hi guys,

this one seems simple but I can't figure it out.

I want the user to enter a value into a global Field. Say he enters "Fred". I want to create a script, that will change the layout and go into Browse mode as soon as the person entered "Fred" and hit a button. However, the script should automatically jump to the record that has the value "Fred" inside of its "Name" field.

Can you guys help me out?

I'd love to hear your ideas...

Create a calc field that returns a number based on the contents of the global field. Now create a script to "GoToLayout" and Specify: Layout Number From Field, using the calc field to specify the number.

Kludgy, but it works.

Make a relationship between the global field and the name field

Attach to the button a script like

Go to related record (Upmentioned relationship)

Go to Layout (Detail layout)

How would I set up the calculation?
