I am sure it is easy and I am just missing something, but this script is giving me fits this morning. I am trying to run a script that will find all receipts created on a certain date, then print labels for them.

I have created a separate label layout, and if I do it manually everything works fine. I want to be able to do everything with the click of a button and a simple input of the date though.

When I do the process manually, I perform the following steps:

1. Open New Window

2. Go to Layout (Pre-Paid)

3. Go to Field (Receipt Date)

4. Find whatever date

5. Go to Layout (Pre-Paid Labels)

6. Print

Like I said, that works fine, but I can't seem to get the user input part of the script. I can make it work if I want to just use the current date, but sometimes we want to print other days.

Here is the current script I have, after messing with it for a few hours:

Print Today's Pre-Paid Labels

Show All Records

New Window [ ]

Go to Layout [ “Pre-Paid Labels” (Pre-Paid) ]

Go to Field [ Pre-Paid::Receipt Date ]

[ Select/perform ]

Enter Find Mode [ ]

[ Pause ]

Go to Layout [ “Pre-Paid Labels” (Pre-Paid) ]

Print [ Records being browsed; All Pages; Orientation: Portrait; Paper size: 8.5" x 11" ]

[ Restore ]

Close Window [ Current Window ]

What's missing or what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any input. I have always received great replies to my posts and everyone has been very helpful to this FM novice.

I think you're just missing the

PerformFind [] (without specifying requests)

step. Then you can go on to the printing.

I.e., you have entered Find mode, but then you have to actually Perform the Find. Also, your [Pause] should be part of the Find step (use the checkbox), not a separate step.
