Display current find criteria

[xraven]

I have a generic report that can be printed for each found set. However I would like to display the criteria used for the find on the report. I know Filemaker stores this info because if you create a script with a Preform Find step, then print the script. The printout will display the find criteria. Does anyone know how to put this info into a global field? Sort of like Status (CurrentFindCriteria).

You are in luck.

Bob Weaver made a Sample file that shows a way to do this, and it is available in the Sample Files. Its called "Display Last Find Criteria" and

Cool idea. I dont think there is a status function for this, but you could probably script it to set field names and values for each field in find mode (right before the "Perform find" step) into a global text box.

Just a thought.

ed: Bob's idea looks much slicker!
