How to disable error message with a Find has 0 results

[tsdj]

Hi forum,

I have been working on a script which performs a find, however sometimes there aren't always records to find so an error message is displayed.

(the one that says "modify find or cancel")

is there a way to disable this error message

Yes, start your script with Set Error Capture On.

This suppresses FM messages, but now you need to deal with the error.

My typical Find script structure (which is on the forums somewhere) is:

Enter Find Mode

Perform Find

If ( Get (Foundcount) = 0 )

Show Dialog "No Records Found"

Show All

End If

Hi Barbara,

I think they are performing a manual find?

If so, I don't think you can do anything with that message.

Barbara's given you good advice.

Question is...what do you want to happen if no records are found?
