Find mode clears ALL fields

[ctls]

hi,

Find mode clears all fields.

Is there a way to keep one field uncleared, i.e. retain the value?

[-Queue-]

Set the field's data to a global before entering Find Mode, then set the field with the global data after entering Find Mode.

Queue is, as always, on the money. If, however, you want to retain some values for use in the Find itself, script a copy & paste of the field, with the copy in browse mode & the paste after you've entered find mode, but before executing the find.

Copy and paste is OK, but using global fields as Q advised would be preferable, since you don't mess up the user's clipboard that way. Also copy and paste require the fields to be accessible on a layout, which you might not always want.
