Omit from Found Set by checkbox

[Wayne0412]

Hi,

I am trying to use a check box to omit records from the found set within List View - Browse.

I have the user select the search criteria from the Form View (Main Page) by clicking the "Find Button". Once the find criteria is selected, they perform the find, then click a "View Commission Report" button which takes them to a List View of the found records in Browse Mode in a new layout.

A check box appears next to each occurrence of the record of the found set called "omit". The theory is that when "omit" is checked, it will remove that record from the found set, "refresh" the list and re-present the amended list on screen. This would continue until the user is satisfied that all of the records they do not wish to appear on the list are "checked".

The user then clicks the "Print Commission Report" button and only the records they wish to have on the printed list will be printed.

This problem is doing my head in!!

Any suggestions?

I have FMP 10 Advanced, Vista, and an an intermediate user (perhaps advanced beginner).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

This is a similar post to one I have posted earlier, but with a different issue.

I am trying to use a button to go to the specific records from a found set within List View - Browse.

I have the user select the search criteria from the Form View (Main Page) by clicking the "Find Button". Once the find criteria is selected, they perform the find, then click a "View Commission Report" button which takes them to a List View of the found records in Browse Mode in a layout called "Comm Report"..

A button appears next to each occurrence of the record of the found set called "go to record". The theory is that when "go to record" is clicked, it will go to that record on the "Main Page" layout.

I have constructed the button, but it goes to the first record. I think I need a script step that sets a variable (say get "client name") and passes it to the script?

Like the previous post, this problem is also doing my head in!!

Any suggestions?

Why the checkbox? Why not just a button that omits that record?

Hi!

If the "Comm Report" layout and the "Main Page" layout are both based on the same table, then I think your button only needs to switch to the "Main Page" layout. FileMaker will keep you on the same record, in this instance.

If they're not based on the same table, then you're probably wanting to Go To Related Records, and we'd need more info.

Does the first scenario best describe your situation, or is it the second ... or something else?
