Hi

I am using the Expense Report template to create reports.

I am trying to create a layout which has the follwoing:

1.Two pop-up menus to choose employee name 1 and employee name 2.

2. Two calendars to select From date and To date.

3. Search button

When the user clicks on search button, I want to find all records using the employee ids of the selected employee names and within the date range.

I have written a find script for searching by the employeeids and date range. Please see the attached file for more information.

What I am unable to do is, get the employee ids corresponding to the names from the layout.

Please tell me if what I am trying to do is possible in Filemaker. Or, if there are any alternatives for achieving the same thing.
