Is there a way to have a script insert text into a certain field that is blank? I need the script to find all records that have this field blank and then insert a value into the field. Is it possible?

I would do something like this:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field [Field; "="]

Perform Find

Replace Field Contents [Field; "Value you want entered"]

Using "=" in your find will find all records with nothing in that field.

Enter Find Mode

Set Field [Field; "="]

Perform FindYou are already working with the Found Set

Replace Field Contents [Field; "Value you want entered"]

You can do this without a script.

Do a find in the field for = as suggested by bvo12585

Type in the new value for the field you want to change it to in the first record, and

Then use the Replace in Main Menu under [color:red]Records then hit the Replace Button at the bottom.

HTH
