Default Can you perform a relookup on just a found set ? - 08-24-2005 , 02:35 PM






I want to be able to do a relookup but only on records in a found set.
I've done the find, but the relookup fixes everything in the whole
database.

No...a relookup is only performed on the current found set. Maybe if
you can provide us some more info on what the lookup trigger field is...

What I am saying is that my relookup is looking up on everything in my
database and not just on the found set. The database holds calls that
a sales person is making. A call is either Active or Complete. If a
call is complete I don't want the relookup done. So I am doing a SET
FIELD to the CALL STATUS field and setting it as "Active" and then
doing the relookup only on that field. But it is relooking up the
whole database.

It doesn't say anything there about performing an actual Find, but
maybe that's just a typo.

If you perform a Find on Call Status = "Active" and then the Relookup.
It should only Relookup the data / fields for the Found set of records.
