perform find from drop-down list

[funkatudinal]

Hi all,

This seems like an easy thing to do, but I just can't seem to script it correctly.

What I have:

--a drop-down global field called USER, containing a list of users from another table.

--a list of records with different USERS in the table ENTRIES.

I just want to choose a user from the drop-down list, click a find script, and that user's entries only are shown. I tried to script it so it copies from the global field, goes to find mode, pastes into the correct field and performs search -- can't get it to work.

appreciate your tips!

You haven't to copy and paste !

Simply use the Set Field [ ] script step like:

Go to Layout [ Entries ]

Enter Find Mode [ ]

Set Field [ User ; gUser ]

Perform Find [ ]

You can add some steps to control the result of this FIND
