Find Script: Avoiding No Records Match Message

Skorz
in Script Workspace and Script Triggers

Featured Replies

Hi all: Upon login the database A, I'm trying to auto-perform the following script in database B:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field...

Perform Find

Set Field ("Global Field 1", "Status(CurrentFoundCount)")

The goal is to then show the value of field "Global Field 1" on the main splash screen of database A. The problem is that if there are no found records to match the search criteria, FileMaker pops up an undesired window that says, "No records match this request - Modify Search or Cancel."

Is there any way to avoid this message when the found count is "0", so that users don't need to click "Cancel" and they just see "0" as the number of found records in "Global Field 1"?

Thanks for whatever light you can shed...

Yes...set Error Capture to On as your first script step.
