My Requests keep deleting themselves

[Curlydave]

I'm trying to make some queries (I think they're called requests) so that when I push a button on my front page layout, it will show all records on my input form layout that have a certain value in my Task Group field.

I think the way to start this is create a script to do a find for each possible value, go into browse mode and set the layout to the input form, and then call it with the button. I create requests, and fill in the desired value to query in the task group field on the input form, but when i go into another mode and back to find/request, my requests are deleted. What's going on?

This is how "find requests" are done in FM. Take user to find screen via a button(could be the data entry layout or specially designed find layout)and pause. User enter find criteria and clicks Continue button on left panel. FM will perform find and return user to browse mode.

You can "hard-code" find requests and attach those scripts to buttons, which is often done for common finds. If you do this, you can use the Perform Find with the restore requests option turned on.
