Hello! Newbie here. Great feel so far to this cyber-community!

I have a script to "find" records, and it seems to be pretty "user-proof", but since I have hidden the status area to keep new users "unconfused" (it is all layout button driven) I don't know how to signify the omit command/checkbox.

In other words, if someone wants to find all Minnesotans, but omit those who live in Frosbite Falls, I have a button that sets the omit checkbox in the status area (in the second request)... but since the status area is locked hidden, the user isn't sure the request was set for omission because there is no visual feedback. Hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance!

I tend to build all request into Perform Find, and then use Modify Last - but take a look in the attached template - please note that I've left the status area open so you can see the checkbox. But the user never sees it.

Thank you! I have the files and will study them. You have been great!
