FM Scripts

[Gramps]

Hi I am very new to FileMaker but not to Databases in general. I have a notes field that I need to find a set of records and add a comment into the begining of this notes field. Can anyone show me what / how to write a script or even a way of performing this function ? Thanks :

This would add to your existing notes already in a notes field.

This is great thanks alot for this...I will get the hang of it eventually. If I run a find first then run this script with the "Exit after Last" will it only affect the records from the find and not the whole table ??

Once again cheers :

that's correct, only the foundset.

Another way to do this, with or without a script, is using Replace Field Contents (from the Records menu), and specifying Replace with Calculated Result. You can use the same calc jstaphse gave you in the script.

Use caution with either method since there is no undo. I recommend you make a new field to test the results before you modify the original source field.
