Auto Post Data Into a "find"

[Baylah]

How can I auto enter information into a find a script?

For example I would like my script to goto my field called "name", copy the name, enter find mode, paste into the field "name" then perform the find.

I know this can all be done with an easy copy and paste script, but I know there is also a better way to do it with "set field" and the proper use of the find features. Problem is I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help me out?

thanks,

Steve

create a global text field... g_Name

Set Field[MyTable::g_Name; MyTable::Name]

Enter Find Mode [] *** uncheck Pause checkbox

Set Field[MyTable::Name; MyTable::g_Name]

Perform Find

In version 8 you may be able to use a variable rather than a global field but I can't help you there.
