Okay, maybe I'm just a dope but I can't figure out how to script a simple find. Here's what I do in v6:

The user presses a button which puts him in the find mode. He then enters an example of what he is searching for in one or more of the fields. He pushes return or enter to execute the search.

I can't get this to work in 7.0. One difference is that I have the field behavior set to go to the next field on tab, return, and enter. This is a very cool feature that should keep the folks from entering unwanted carriage returns at the end of fields.

I realize that there is a find button in the bar on the left side of the screen but I have replicated it's function (by it I mean that entire bar not just the button) on the right side of the screen and would rather not show it.

Just create a script for a one button Find ...

if[Get ( WindowMode ) = 1]

Perform Find[]

else

Enter Find Mode []

end if

[oops -- no pause in the find mode]

Yep, that seems to work but... you have to click the button again. We have become accustomed to just pressing the enter key to execute the find. Are those days over for us?
