Anyway to re use a FIND...

[RodM]

If I am in my main CMR layout   referencing  CMR file

Then if open popup New window.. reference to same CMR file

 

Here I have several Find & Filtering routines, operator can select for showing CMR file  
..  that find seems to works find viewing top find/scroll records

 

THEN..  close pop up...   Back to Main , showing all records..   that's normal

 

Can i some how re use that same  FIND Found count,,, last Find to same set of records

 

 Thanks

Each window has it's own found set and when you close a window, the found count's used by that window are 'lost'. The only way to accomplish this is via your own ingenuity, in other words, FileMaker doesn't do it for you.

In the past when I used a new window to perform finds, I closed that new window if the user Canceled the find, but if they successfully completed the find, I closed the previous window, then moved/re-named the find window to match the location/size/name of the previous window. If you did this, your main window would have saved the found set's/last find's so when you create a new window off that for your next find, those found set's/last finds would exist in your find window.

Lessons learned.. What i did was save my criteria to $vars,   close the popup window, then perform my find on the CMR, like your idea too another time... thks
