Scripting a find using a fields entry

[thefugeman]

In a record I have a text field called "Name" that I want to copy it's entry and do a find by using a script. I can't seem to figure out if this is do-able.

Any help is appreciated.

Set up a Global field gName.

Script steps:

Set gName = Name

Enter Find Mode (uncheck restore)

set field Name = gName

perform find (uncheck restore)

Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

One thing I'm not clear on in your steps

was the part about "Set gName=Name"

Do you mean SetField gName = Name ?

I've tried variations on this but nothing seems to work?

I don't see anything simply "set" in the scripting area.

What am I overlooking?

Hi,

First time in the forum

The answer is "Set field Name= gName then perform your find

[mitchn]

As well as: set fiekd gName = Name ......

Sorry, Yes I should have said "SetField"
