Perform Find script step

[Jondb]

Hi-

I find the perform find script step baffling, and filemaker help is very vague on the subject. Specifically I want to include in a script a search for records where a date field contains a date that is older than today's date. I have a current date field also, but no option seems to exist that allows me to set up this simple search. What am I missing?

Thanks

Jondb

I would also like to add that it is important o error capture if you will then be doing something with the found set. For example:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field

Set Error Capture On

Perform Find

Set Variable $lastError = Get ( LastError )

Set Error Capture Off

If ( $lastError )

Exit Script

End If

This all depends on your particular circumstances but it good to note.

Thoughts, comment?
