please explain why this doesn't work

[VICH]

the set field part of the script never works..and it is very crucial to the compeletion of my project

[Slobey]

When you say never works, what do you mean. Does the field never get set or do you get a find error message?

[Slobey]

Never mind my last post, remove the pause. If you need a pause do it after the field is set, that should do it

[VICH]

well they are supposed to select another value from a field thats is a conditional value list based off the account name...and teh list never comes up because the builder field isn't set with the account name like it should be

Try:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field

Pause Script

[VICH]

doing it that way populates the field...but i still can't choose from my value list, it doesn't pop up at all....and when i complete the search...it finds all recrods as if there were a show all command in at the end of the script and i checked it and there isn't

[Slobey]

If I am wrong someone will no doubt correct me, but I don't beleive that the conditional relationship will work in find mode. The field is set in find but that doesn't create the relationship, so the value list will not work.

[Fenton]

The filtered value list will work in Find mode if you set the Get(AccountName) value into a global field first, before entering Find mode. Or, I just discovered :-), set the AccountName calculation field to have global storage, rather than Unstored. It is global in scope anyway. Then it still works in Find mode as the left-side key of a relationship. I'm assuming you mean the real Account Name, and not a custom login scheme.

Made a too-general statement that wasn't true, again

You can have a conditional value list work in Find mode, without using global fields. It all depends how you set it up.

[VICH]

as said value lists do work and find mode and it turns out my script was perfect the account name didn't match the value that it should have there was an extra space in it therefore not making the relationship work

[VICH]

new problem...it doesn't perform the find at the end?!?! the account name goes in the value list works but now when i complete the search it returns all records still and not a found set

What are the criteria in the Restore option of the Constrain Found Set step?

[VICH]

it is set up to omit records that are have the text shipped in thier status field but i took that step out of hte script and everything else worked...so i need way to omit those records with out messing up my search

[-Queue-]

I think you could either perform the find and then add your Constrain criteria or just include it in the original criteria by creating a new request, setting the status field to "shipped" and marking it as omitted. Then Perform Find.
