How to perform a find using find criteria from a field

[Michael]

I need to be able to perform multiple finds 1500 I would like to use data from a field rather than having to perform each find and then creat a script for that find. 1500 find scripts clutters up the script maker!

Can you perform the task yourself, by hand? If so, just make a script that generalises and duplicates the process.

The process might go something like this...

Browse mode

Select item from global field with pop-up list

Click "Find" button

Script runs that...

1) changs to Find mode

2) uses Set Field to search on value in global field

3) Perform find

4) change to appropriate layout

The trick here is to realise that you can do copy and paste actions in a script to put in various values into search criteria fields.
