Find/Print Script.... error proofing

[lonesomejubilee]

Hi,

I have a button that executes a script that will bring up a dialogue box to enter a couple of search variables... then it performs the search, goes to preview mode, and prints out the report. Yeah!

The problem is that what if the search yields no results? Then it continues the script going to preview mode where nothing is displayed and unfortunately the user thinks there is something wrong and they want to close it down.

How do I script for errors so if the search yields no results, then i could put up another dialogue box...?

Thanks

Vandy

Hi Vandy,

here is something I have been using and has been working great (so far)

...a bunch of steps to perform the find

if(Status(CurrentFoundCount)<0)

show message "no records meet your request"

---a bunch of steps like perform another script of exit or...whatever

else

---do what you do now

EndIf

Hi,

where do I place this code in the Scriptmaker? I don't really see an area to place it in.

And it's coming up with a message that the "Status" function cannot be found.

"Status" is for previous versions. Use Get(FoundCount) after the Find and trap 0 results (exit script).

yes sorry, in version 7 all the "status" have been changed to "get"
