Tryin' to do a find on an unmodifiable field???

Featured Replies

Hey, I'm tryin to write a script that will do a find on "Venue ID" ... however the field is a Serial Number (type field) with the option of NOT allowing users to modify. So, how can I go about preforming a search when I can't even enter the Venue ID field in Find mode?

Yikes! Thanks for any help!

Set field will work when in the find mode, or you can manually enter in the find mode. You can enter into a global field and use that field as the source in the set field.

Ummm ... I can't enter the field in Find mode manually. Are you sayin I can by script? I don't think that's what you're saying.

I know I can copy the contents of the field by creating a global field with a calculation of the Venue ID ...

But when I go in to find mode, how do I do a search with the serial I've copied?

That's funny, I can enter a value in the find mode to a field that prohibits modification by the user.

Are you sure you are in the find mode?

Yep, I'm positive. I can't enter any of the fields that are 'unmodifable'.

However, I just made a duplicate of the Venue ID field ... with the calculation as described ... and now I'll just search via the duplicate field. A bit of a pain, but works.

Hey, is there a function on this forum to email me when a reply is posted?!?!?! I can't find it! Thanks Ralph.

Hi Joel,

At the bottom of the each Thread Page, in the "Extra Information", you have the ability to toggle a thread as Favorite. By doing that, the Forum will email you a notification when someone posts to a Favorite.

Toggle this one, then read the information that will pop up as it is putting into your Profile page as a favorite.

You can manually enter Find Mode, if the menu option is available. Press Ctrl-F (Windows) or Cmd-F (Mac).
