Default Storing current find request - 12-02-2005 , 05:00 AM






Is it possible, within a script, to store the last find request that was
performed by the user? I have a number of scripts where I perform find
requests, and if possible I would like to store the current found
set/find request at the beginning of the script, and return to it
(perform it again) at the end.

In FM 7 & 8 you can define Find requests specifically in a script.

But that doesn't help him restore an arbitrary Find the user might have
done.

He might create a couple of global fields and value lists. Put them on a
seperate layout. and the perfom a find through a script. Leaving he values
in the global fields as they where. Thus being able to restore the find last
done.

"Modify last find" will enter find mode with the criteria from the
previous find.
