[FMP-link]

[simonr]

Hi All-Can anyone help me please?

I am trying to get my head around how to use the [FMP-link] function. What I want to do is perform a search and then get a list of results from that search which is fine, I can do that bit.

I then want to be able to store that results page into a token as an [FMP-link] so that I can carry it around as a token and go back to the results at anytime. The problem is, having the [FMP-link] stored as a token, when I pass the token around from one page to another, it appears to try and execute whats in the token rather than just moving it about. Could anyone tell me EXACTLY how to set a [FMP-link] as a token, how to carry it around and how to retreive/recall the token?

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'm getting desperate with this one.

As an alternative you may wish to consider using frames to hold your search results.

All the best.

Garry,

I'm pretty new to filemaker. What are frames and how do they work?

I'm talking about html frames. You can display your found set in one frame and by clicking on one of the items the details can be displayed in another frame. Hence, the found set will remain displayed in the first frame.

Hope this helps.
