Number of found records displayed per page

[larine]

How do I change the number of records that are displayed per page in a found set? I'm finding that the number of records shown is different between the web interface and the actual Filemaker program interface.

Yes, the web interface is limited to (IIFC) ten records. Or maybe 25, I cannot remember.

This is a hard-coded limitation in IWP to minimise server load.

Would there be any way of putting a button on the page that would display the next 10 results?

IWP displays 25 records at a time unless a portal is used. Try taking a look at this thread.

IWP Navigation Thread

Be aware that there is a reason for FMI limiting the results to 25 records: speed.

"Would there be any way of putting a button on the page that would display the next 10 results?"

Yes: a button with the Go to Record/Request[] script step.

Hi, thanks for your help with this. I added a button with the Go to Record/Request[Next] script. However it doesn't work as I would like it to. The original request displays records 1-25, then when I click on the button it displays results 2 to 26, then 3 to 27 etc. Is there a way to make it display 1-25 then click on the button and it displays 26-50?

Did you follow the link that I posted?

Thanks so much. Worked perfectly.
