How to use value list to go to specific records?

[~GW~]

Hi all, been a short time lurker but first post :

This is probably an easy one but it is where I am at now

If I have a field with a specific and unique name (for every record) is it possible to create a drop down select list of that field to be used as a go to record selector? So if I select the drop down and select NameC it will go to NameC's record?

Thinking about it from a fresh start how you you recommend I do that?

Thanks

Sure.

Suppose your unique name is called 'ID'. Create a global field called 'GoTo'. Format 'GoTo' as a drop-down list that shows values from 'ID'. Set a script trigger on 'GoTo' that activates when it is modified, and performs a Find using the value of 'GoTo' in the 'ID' field.

If you want to scroll down to the record of interest, rather than performing a Find operation, then your script would need to be a little more involved.
