finding variables

[justdippin]

hello,

this prolly is a n00b question but i really can't seem to get it worked.

I already looked on this topic for answers http://www.fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/173072/

but it really doesn't work for me.

this is my script:

Set Variable [$test; Value:Company::Company_ID]

Enter Find Mode []

Set Field [Company_ID ; $test]

Perform Find []

i see that in the search field not the company_ID is filled in but $test.

So i thought my Varibale was wrong. But i tested my Variable with the save as pdf script and there it turns out oke,

what im I missing?

thx in advance

I wonder - How did you manage to get Conpany_ID to show the second time in your script without the doublecolon notation??

One thing you should observe though is that if you have more than one file do you need the Exit Script[ scriptstep to port the values the variables holds ...to the next variable. Is it used in a migrated solution?

i see that in the search field not the company_ID is filled in but $test.

Make sure there's no quotes around the $test variable in the Set Field[] calc.

thx for your help all,

i got this working now, i just hate the screen if there are no records. I want to go to another layout if there are no records from my search criteria. Don't want to see that other window. How can i hide that?
