Date Range Search

[Jimjmn]

I am new to FM and am wanting to produce a report that is sorted by a range between two dates. I have tried to no avail to have maybe a custom dialog box that would gather the dates and them import them into the search field (purchase date) and then search. I know that I can manualy type the dates into the field seperated by "..." but I would rather it be a little more automated. Any ideas?

Create a script that would produce yur dialog box and after the user choose "OK" button then add this to the script.

1)If(lastmessagechoice)=1

enter find mode

2) insert calculated results (choose the target field,

then choose the two date fields with your"..." between them.

3) preform find.

You need to use the "Get(DateasNumber) function before your two date fields in your calculation.

Example:

Get(DateasNumber)(date1)&"..."& Get(DateAsNumber)(field2).

Hope this helps
