Can anyone suggest a way for the user to specify that a given Find variable is to be handled as an OMIT condition, when the Status Area is hidden? I can't think of a way for the user to :

a) specify that a given find request be treated as an OMIT

: have some kind of on-screen reminder that a given find request is flagged as an OMIT

Thanks in advance,

Andy

You could use a checkbox with a value of 1, attached to a script to

Set Field [field; field <> 1]

Omit Record/Request

OK - while this works in terms of performing the actual find itself, it's unclear to me what the 'Set Field' command actually does. Just the Omit Command alone would toggle the 'omit' checkbox for a find request, wouldn't it?

In terms of giving visible feedback to the user that a given find request is marked OMIT, I'm still stuck.

Yes, it toggles the omit on and off. Put the checkbox on your layout next to an OMIT label, format it to not allow entry, and attach it to the script. Users will see an X when it is omitted and nothing when it is not.

Ah - I get it now; had to play with it for a minute. Thanks a lot!
