hi,

Find mode clears all fields.

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

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

ctls:

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.
