Hi all,

Thanks for your help so far, I'm learning lots from the forums here. I'm not a total dunce but I'm finding I really have to dig to find FM's power.

Here is another item I'm trying to wrap my head around. Is it possible to pass the criteria for a find script via the ScriptParameter? Dynamically?

As an example from an earlier question ... if I want to find all the companies that start with "A" I do a find with ==A* then create and store a find/restore script. Seems silly to do this for every letter of the alphabet so I was trying to pass the letter via the ScriptParameter. But when I do this it tries to find the text "ScriptParameter". Not what I need.

TIA,

Find criteria in the Enter Find Mode and Perform Find steps must be static. Use Set Field for dynamic criteria.

Enter Find Mode [ ]

Set Field [textfield; "==" & Get(ScriptParameter) & "*"]

Perform Find [ ]

Thanks, makes sense.

You're avatar reminds me that once my kids finish devouring the Abbott and Costello and The Three Stooges videos I rented for them, I can move also introuduce them to Laurel and Hardy.
