'Go to which record?' message

I need to be able to create 4 records with a single script, and go to the first of the set made.

Filemaker flashes up a message asking which record I want to go to, giving the total number of records in the found set, eg: 25. In that circumstance, I'd want to go to 22, but I don't want the end-user having to work that out every time. The message overrides a script step stating that I want to go to '22' (using a calculation based on the contents of a unique no. field).

How do I stop that message appearing? (I've tried ErrorCapture but can't find a relevant error number).

I'm probably being thick, but I had looked for that and couldn't find it, perhaps because I was trying to use 'Omit Multiple' rather than Perform Find/Omit. But the latter on a wildcard didn't give the required result either.

I've since decided, instead of fighting it, use it. I added < Show All Records; Omit Record; Show Omitted Only > after creating the first of the four records. Now the user can just press '1' and click 'OK'.

Thanks for the swift response.

If you create four new records then want to go to first of those four, you can go to records (by record number and NOT unique ID). You would use Go To Record [ by calculation ] with calc something like:

Get ( RecordNumber ) - 3

Update: This would be based upon you ending on record 4 of the four records created.
