Omitting records

[JHinman]

This is probably a pretty basic questions. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I want to omit all the records but the one that is curently being viewed. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

One way to do it, is to give each record a record number (a field where a unique number is automatically added) with each new record. Then search by the record number. For example, we keep inventory items. Each item is given an automatical number. Then we search for that records number. "However if you just want to print only the record on screen, Besure and use the drop down box on Print Dialox (File, Print) box and tell it "current record only." Hope that helps!

The easy way is: Find All, move to the record you want, Omit, then Find Omitted. If you are already looking at the record you want and all records are in the found set, it's just Omit an Find Omitted (for FM 5 that Omit Record and Show Omitted, they can't leave anything alone!). -bd

If you just do an omit record, then find omitted you will find all omitted works, so if you have already omitted other records they will show. Would'nt you need a Show All command first?

Show All (FM 5.0) = Find All (FM 3.0 - 4.1)
