Set field in fid mode

[Kristen]

I am trying to script a find that does the following.

Enter Find Mode

Set Field, Company, to Client::Company name

(the set field is looking to a related database for the company name)

But, the set field is not working. When I check the script, it enters find mode, and then stops. It does not set the field Company to anything. Is there something that I am missing?

Hi kristen

What i do is use the set field command to sent the information to a global field into the db that i want to do the find and then use the insert calculated results command in the find mode. works ever time

Kristin ...

The Enter Find Mode script step has two options: Pause, and Restore find requests. Make sure these are deselected.

I have both of the options unselected, and it still does not perform properly. I am not to thrilled about insert calculated result, should this script work without the global?

Data doesn't exist while in Find Mode unless it is held within a global field. So use:

Set Field [gtext, Client::Company name]

Enter Find Mode [ ]

Set Field [Company, gtext]

Perform Find[ ]
