Record doesn´t exist problem

[Saucepan]

hi

when im searching for emails in my database the ones that doesn´t exist results in a notification "record doesnt exist". is there anyway to add them to my database? if my search results in a record that doesnt exist cant i simply just have it added as a new record?

Yes, you can do that. But it should be obvious that you're going to have to write a script for that purpose. FileMaker is a great application, but it can't read your mind.

If you're asking how to know if a record wasn't found within a script...

Put this at the begiining of your script:

Set Error Capture[On]

And this right after you perform your find:

If[ Get(LastError) <> 0]

What to do if your script doesn't find any records here.

End If
