I was wondering if it would be possible to set a global to what criteria you have searched for. In the script, I put set field function but I have no idea how to connect what was entered in the field, due to it being in find mode, to stick around long enough to get it passed into a global. Any ideas? I have heard of some kind of store search criteria somewhere, I don't know where... but sounds somewhere in that area. What I have is a script that starts a search function, goes to a layout in pause, lets the user pick what they need, then go on to, show ommited, because we don't actually want to see what we searched for, but who doesn't match that criteria, then perform a constrained search for all active records, then bounce to the last layout displaying the result in browse mode.

what I am trying is, what the user put for the criteria, to be in a global that is displayed on the last layout.

Any clues?

I would probably go back a step and control the interface the user enters the find criteria into. If the user enters the find criteria into global fields in Browse mode, it would be much simpler to store these criteria for display or reuse. The actual find would be performed by entering Find mode under script control and copying the global values to the actual fields, and then performing the find.
