Running a loop script but staying in the same record?

[moonunit]

I've created a simple script which runs from a button in a specific layout of found records.

The script inserts today's date into all of the found records.

Go to record First

Loop

Insert current date

Go to next [exit after last]

End loop

[i did say it was simple!]

However, the record which was onscreen at the point the script was triggered is not the record that is on screen after the script runs (unless co-incidentally it's the last record). What I want to achieve is having the script run whilst apparently staying on the same record.

Anybody got a simple solution?

Include the new window script step just before your loop, then close window.

New Window []

Go to record First

Loop

Insert current date

Go to next [exit after last]

End loop

Close window[]

Beautiful & simple.

I never would have thought of that!

Many thanks Breezer.
