Creating a global search field function

[DPaquin]

I've added a field called SearchField within a Customer table and samething into an Invoice table. When the user click the find button a script is triggered which detects the type of Search to be conducted.

 

If the user enter a 10 consecutive number,  the script detects it should perform a find on the customer:phone field, if it 6 consecutive number, it detects it's an invoice:invoiceNo.

 

The script behaves as expected. However, when two user are using the search in the "Customer Layout", the second user must wait until it's unlock. Samething with the invoice:InvoiceNo.

 

Also, the other users sees the caracters I've entered for my search criteria.

 

Is there a way, a workaround which would bypass the lock/unlock? Unfortunately global variable are not editable.

 

Many thanks!

Daniel

Your SearchField should be set to global storage. I would say it would be better to use the QuickFind feature.

Thanks bcooney,

 

It works with the set to global storage. I will read about the QuickFind.
