Matt Leach Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Im not sure if this is possible but wanted to give it a try. What i would like to do is use a dialog for a user to enter some search criteria and then have a script use the information to perform a find. It appears that FileMaker will only allow you to set a field on a dialog, not a variable. Am I correct in the assumption? If not possible, how would one go about doing something like this (letting using input criteria) without having the user go into a find mode? Thanks
bcooney Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 You'd need to create a layout for search criteria entry (any TO is fine, could be based on the table you're searching or a SYS table). On the layout, you'd place global fields. Then the Perform Find button would: Go to Layout TO of table to search (maybe a list view) Enter Find Mode Set Field, field1, gField1 (field do not need to be on the layout) (repeat for each global) Perform Find Handle zero found
Matt Leach Posted September 27, 2010 Author Posted September 27, 2010 I was afraid that was the only option. Thank you for your assistance.
