I am performing a sequence of finds in a script. I expect that many of them will find no records. How can I prevent the "No records found" dialog box from coming up?

Aha! You have just discovered what that criptic script step "Set Error Capture (on)" is for. This script step toggles error capture which supresses the error dialog boxes. For instance:

Allow User Abort (off)

Set Error Capture (on)

Perform Find (restore)

If(Status(CurrentError) = 401)

#No Records Found

Exit Script

Else

#Records Found

Sort(restore,no dialog)

Go to Layout (List)

End If

-bd

Where can I find a list of error numbers such as the one you show (401).

FileMaker Version: 6

Platform: Mac OS X Panther

Check the Status(CurrentError) description in the Manual or application Help.

Brian Dunning (briandunning.com) has an excellent FileMaker database for free download which contains loads of the FM error codes, as well as Windows and Mac error codes. It's somewhere on his website.
