Find/ Replace question

in Finding & Searching

Featured Replies

I've been trying to use "Find/Replace" to find records in which one field is entirely empty and put "No" in that field in those records satisfying the criterion.

What is the parameter I want to "find" ? Please keep in mind this is the functionality accessed by "Edit > Find/Replace > Find/Replace" not a simple Find.

This might fall under "Stupid Newbie Questions" but I can't seem to do it, and although I'm occasionally accused of stupidity I'm not a newbie to FMP8. The FMP8 Advanced help menu isn't really helpful.

I don't think you can use Find/Replace to replace nothing with something. You need to actually find the records with the empty field, then use Replace Field Contents.

Okay, I used the Replace Field function and all is well.

Thanks very much for your assistance!
