richshone Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 Just getting into creating buttons and scripts to find and sort records in my solution and having a few minor problems that I can't quite figure out. First and foremost is the fact that even though I deselect restore on the enter find and perform find funtions, I can't seem to create a script that allows me to type in the find criteria myself. Is that more complex than I think it is? For both find and sort functions, the only options when you save a script seem to be to keep the last find or sort criteria or replace with the latest one. Obviously I can hit apple f myself but I am trying to automate this solution with buttons so I can control access. Am I missing something simple and fundamental here? Thanks for any help...

Goto Layout [FindLayout] Enter Find Mode [] Goto Field [FirstFindField] Pause Script <<at this point in the procedure you will enter your find criteria into the fields on your layout. Pressing Enter or clicking continue on the status bar will unpause the script>> Perform Find [] Goto Layout [FoundList] ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Consultant Database Resources mailto:[email protected] http://www.database-resources.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.daly Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 If you are trying to control access then you might want to use a large button with FIND on it to resume the script! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
