Script for printing today's info only?

[lonesomejubilee]

Hi.

I am trying to write a script that will take me from my form layout and print a report for today only. The problem is that when I use scriptmaker and enter the 'today's date' from the menu, as my specify from the print, it doesn't work. I have to manual go into find mode to get it done....

Even better, can anyone tell me how to make a script that will allow the user to enter a date at run-time for printing

Enter Find Mode [ ]

Set Field [table::date; Get(CurrentDate)]

Perform Find [ ]

or

Create a relationship from a global date field to the static date field and,

Set Field [table::globaldate; Get(CurrentDate)]

If [not IsEmpty(relationship::serial)]

Go to Related Record [show; relationship]

Else

Show Custom Dialog ["There are no records for today."]

End If

For user defined dates, use a global date field.

Enter Browse Mode [ ]

Set Field [table::globaldate; ""]

Go to Layout [Report Find]

Pause/Resume Script [ ]

If [not IsEmpty(table::globaldate)]

If [not IsEmpty(relationship::serial)]

Go to Related Record [show; relationship]

Else

Show Custom Dialog ["There are no records for that date."]

End If

Else

Show Custom Dialog ["You have not entered a date."]

End If

Go to Layout [Original]
