FM Pro 10 Perform Find/Replace

Featured Replies

I have a script that worked perfectly in FM9.

I set a field with a value (static HTML code)

Then I go to Field (same one I just set)

Then Perform Find/Replace (replacing NAME, ADDRESS, etc with values from a client order)

Options are Replace All, Direction All, Current record/request and Current field.

In FM10 I get an error: The Find/Replace option "Current field" requires a selected field.

The process is repeated three times in three different parts of the script, on three different fields. Each time preceded by setting the field, and then going to the field.

It works on the first batch of find/replaces, but not the second or third. I can't find any difference between them other than the 1st batch is case sensitive, and the second and third are not. (changing that option has no effect).

How do I force FM to select a field? It seems this should be basic, but I'm obviously missing something.

Thank you for any help/advice/thoughts you may have.

personally I would opt to use Set Field and use the substitute or replace functions in lieu of the Find/Replace options.

That seems to have solved the problem. Learned something new. Thank you very much.
