In my find Script I would prefer not to use copy and paste.

I have an ID field which the user has entered the record number from another record in the DB.

When the user wants to see the other record they run a script that copies the number and enters Find mode where it copies & pastes that number into the serial number field and does a find.

There's got to be a more elegant way...

One option: You could create a self-join relationship by ID field. A portal based on this relationship would show all records with matching IDs. Specify a button in each portal row to Go to Related Record to jump to the appropriate record.

My suggestion would be to make the field that the user inputs the number for another record in the db as a Global field. in the script to Find:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field [ RecordNumber, gFind ]

Perform Find

The input field would be gFind
