saving a found set for historical purpose

[pmusaev]

What are people doing to save historical information about Found Record Sets? Every week I hand out a list of records based on a found set and would like to reference these records later down the road. Any ideas you may have to share would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Can't you just save the criteria used to perform the find?

Vaughan, I take it that pmusaev's trying to see how the same criteria yield different record sets over time, yes?

One possibility is to create an entirely separate file which holds the IDs of the records found on any given significant date, in a simple two-field format (or three fields if you need to specify which report/criteria is at issue). I think you can script an import of the found record set into this report history file. (I don't remember the 5/6/7 differences in import flexibility, though.) Of course you'd have to make sure, with any solution to your task here, that your main records are not ever simply deleted, but always archived to a "dead records" file.
