Hello everyone,

I have two fields: FirstName & LastName

I can do a normal search, but what I would like to do is to beable to search for a name in both fields at one. ie: Ruth Chris well some one might put that person in the system with the first name being Chris not Ruth.

Is there a way to make a script on a search that will search for any occurance of Chris?

Thank you

There are a couple of approaches you might use. Here is a fairly simple one: first, take the user to a layout that has a global field on it, and a button attached to a script, and the script would look something like this...

Enter Find Mode

Set Field( NameLast, yourGlobalField )

New request

Set Field( NameFirst, yourGlobalField )

Perform Find

Ok, so does this look correct?

Enter Find Mode [Pause]

Set Field [File_login::Login_LastName; File_Login_Welcome_Page::Login_Search_Field]

New Record/Request

Set Field [File_login::Login_FirstName; File_Login_Welcome_Page::Login_Search_Field]

Perform Find[]

The Welcome page has the gobal field on it with a button with this script but it does not work?

Please explain

Take out the Pause in the first step. Also make sure that both the first or last step leave the Restore option UNchecked.
