Stopping a script in find mode

Hi everyone, this is my first post to this forum. I look forward to joining in .

I have a problem in a script. I am using FMPRo 8 on in Windows XP Pro. What I am trying to do is find a record based on a barcode scan of an order number. Once found I want to change the content of 3 fields in that record.

The basic script structure is:

Show all records

Go to field (desired field)

Enter find mode [pause]

Insert current date [specified field]

Insert calculated result [specified field]

Insert calculated result [specified field]

The problem I have is when I run the script the data base enters find mode but the content insertion proceeds so I end up with a find request that includes the 3 inserts I wish to perform after the find is completed.

How can I stop the inserts until the find has been completed. Any help would be appreciated.

One way would be to scan the barcode in to a global field. You can then change your script to

Show all records

enter find mode

Set field your barcode;your global

perform find

now move your other info in
