logical script question

[redviper]

First let me say that I am using FMDev 6.

I need a script step that checks the current found count and then either runs the script or shows a message.

I only want the script to run if there is one record in the found count. otherwise I show a message that tells the user to refine their search.

I am using an If/else statement in my script, that's easy enough and I tried to use "setfield" to grab the number from a field called "currentfound" but after reading the help on "setfield" that isn't the one to use.

Any ideas? remember, I am using FMDev 6.

thanks

Maybe it would help is I posted what I have so far:

if[]

(this is the step i need)(was trying to use setfield("currentfound", "currentfound = "1")

Duplicate Record/Request

Duplicate Record/Request

Duplicate Record/Request

Go to Layout [layout]

Else

Show Message[message]

Go to layout[layout]

Enter Find Mode[]

End if

------------------

The first condition after the "IF" statement is the one I can't figure out.

Am I way off base?

thanks

well, i'm appreciative that no one let me know the exact kind of ignorant human being I am.

the "If[]" statement has brackets for a reason. duh!

I just put my condition actually in the "If" section, between the brackets.

I swear I've been using filemaker for years and was blanking on that. I'll blame it on my recent surgery, I'm blaming everything else on it.

ROFLMAO!! Hey, Todd, join the club! We all have moments of delayed intelligence and it usually isn't until I post a question that the solution hits me!! :laugh2:

i've done tech work, so, it's karma i believe. I can't tell you the number of times folks will explain a problem only to have it fixed by plugging in something.

You need to press the "any" key. ;-)
