Hello all,

I want to know how can do a search without the curser jumping to the next field.

example:

I have 2 fields: name_contact and name_company

i want to search the name_contact, so I go to layout:search. I enter the name (with autofill a couple names show up, i chose one and than press enter.

Now i want that fm searches the names and don't jumps to the next field, in this case, name_company_field

ps i already have untagged the tab, return and enter options on "go to next oject" in the field options

how do i do this "autosearch"

thx all for your help.

You're excused that such behaviours are to be expected on your platform, this is not native filemaker behaviour but a feature that must rely on an event-trigger plugin.

That isn't needed ...

you have to exclude name_company (and any other field of that layout) from the TAB order.

To do that , in layout mode, go to:

Layouts --> Set Tab Order...

thx for ur help..it works good now

didn't know of the existence of the taborder

--> fm n00b :P
