save a "OR" find request

[hpw]

FMP 10 has the feature to save finds. That's great. It also offers to insert "operators". also great.

One operator I'm missing is the "or" operator. Of course I can search, let's say for the name Smith first, then I do another search for the name Johnson and choose "extend found set". But I can't save such a found set. Or am I wrong?

In my existing version I built in a very quick and very dirty solution, which is copying and saving the IDs of all found records.

When I heard about the "Save Finds" option in FMP10 I was so happy. But now I found that it still can't save "OR" requests. Some idea?

An 'OR' is just another find request.

A scripted find request would be:

Enter Find Mode []

Set Field [ Name; "Smith" ]

New Record / Request

Set Field [ Name; "Johnson" ]

Perform Find []

A specified find request would look something like:

Find Records Criteria - Name:[smith]

Find Records Criteria - Name:[Johnson]
