Performing finds on Global fields

[Jarvis]

I have a series of SET FIELD scripts which set the value in a name field based upon which button is pushed.

For example: If the button that says SKIPPY is pushed, the name SKIPPY shows up as the worker's name.

I also have a global text field called: WORKER OF THE MOMENT.

Value in this field is equal to whatever name button was most recently activated.

What I would like to do is select a name button then perform a FIND for all records with that name.

Is there a way to perfom a find with criteria from a global field?

Thanks for any help.

just did more research.

You cannot use a Global field as criteria for a Find.

Why can't you

enter the find mode

set field [Name, Worker of the moment]

Preform find

?

True, you can't do a find on the global field Worker of the moment.

Thanks a bunch!
