  • Thread-topic: FileMaker Pro 10 Find Request

Hi Craig,

I have been working on such an idea. I have AS put what I what to find in a global field then  I made a script in FileMaker like this…

 

Enter Find mode

SetField[YourField; TableName::GlobalField]

PerformFind[ ]

 

However the Enter Find Mode pauses the script and I can’t seemed to find how to get around this.

 

What is you method???

 

Thanks,

Steven

How then do I reset the found items so I only have what I currently searched for?

 

I have always found "request" to be flaky. I setup a FMP script that handles the setup

and then have AppleScript insert the search term. Then use another FMP script to

execute the find. This has been very reliable.

 

Regards,

 

Craig

Steve,

 

I'm not into FMP but I'd try to comment out "try" and "end try" and see what, if any, errors you get.

When I run this script and change the “SomeString” it adds to the found records so that I have my last search and the current search. Should not the delete every request reset my found records???

 

 

 

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

          tell database "NameOfDataBase"

                   show every record

                   try

                             delete every request

                   end try

                   set MyRequest to create new request

                   set cell "NameOfField" of MyRequest to "SomeString"

                   go to (find)

          end tell

end tell
