Is there a way to change the values within a found set via a dialog box type entry?

I would like to be able to perform a find, then change specific field values within just those found records without affecting the values in any other (omitted) records.

I would like to be able to do this in a way that the new value can be generated on the fly by the user

(via a custom dialog box).

In some cases, the fields that would be affected (found) would be empty.

In some cases the new data (from dialog box) would be replacing existing data.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Jarvis

Your script just needs a couple of lines,

Show custom dialog (dialog input::the field you want to change)

Replace field contents(no dialog; dialog input::the field you want to change; Current contents)

Note that if this is multi-user, you should turn on error trapping and decide what should happen if one of the records happens to be locked because it's in use by another user.

Thanks Tom!

I will give that a try this morning.

Tom,

Thanks again! I just got a chance to try that out.

It does exactly what I want.
