I want it to be part of a script that assigns fks to a child table. I'd like to check if the user has already inputted. To avoid a duplicate record upon the second time a user might accidentaly or in a change of mind re-enters another choice in the field.

not Get ( FoundCount )

will return True if no records are found.

Oh, great, splendid (the alternative so far, had been a Get(LastError) = 401).

 

Is there a way to suppress the not found dialog box that pops up?

That's a perfectly valid alternative - I should have mentioned it too. But Get (FoundCount) works always, not only following a find.

Have a look at the Set Error Capture[] script step.
