script to assign to button

[***ANDY***]

Hello Together,

say I want to search for a Last Name in my database, so far no problem using the find layout. But now I want to do the same thing, only that I enter the name I want to find in a separate field XY which is on a different layout called SEARCH. The entire thing looks like: Enter name you are looking for into field XY >> then click button FIND. After the name is entered into the field I want to push the FIND button that has the find script assigned to it.

How would my script have to look like? So far I have the following:

Enter Browse Mode

Go to Layout ["Data"] (this is the layout all names are on)

Show All Records

Enter Find Mode

Insert Text [selcet, "Last Name",""]

Perform Find[]

How does my row Insert Text [select, "Last Name","=???"] has to look like? If I click the Specify button I'd have to enter a certain name but I actually want the script to function that it looks for the name that is entered into the XY field.

If this sounds too confusuing I can upload the fp5 file.

Thanks guys,

Andy

Try:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field [Last Name, XY]

Perform Find[]

This will work for everything except date ranges.

Make sure XY is a global field.
