I have a situation where I find many records and they are grouped by salesperson name. I want to copy information from the first record only of each salesperson to another table.

I have set up a script to work through the fields and loop until all the records are processed but I can not figure out how to skip records in a script. I tried setting a variable based on the salesperson name and then compare that variable but the syntax of how to manage this is not connecting in my brain.

Any pushes in the right direction are appreciated.

What makes a record the "first" record. Date, $, etc.?

You could create another layout with a different TO that was sorted by your criteria: Date or whatever. If you perform single record functions on this TO then FM will use the first record it finds.

Yes by date.

what does TO stand for?

Table occurrence - another instance of a table in your relationship graph.

in FM parlance. ???
