In FM 6 is there a way to hide the status area while at the same time doing an Omit. I have a script that allows an Omit while constraining the found set. Users are always clicking the Find button in the status area which doesn't constrain the set.
In a script you effectively tick the Omit box by using the Omit Record step after you've switched to Find mode. And the Cmd-T (on OS X; previously Cmd-M) keyboard shortcut will allow the user to toggle the checkbox. But if the Status area is hidden they may not know whether they're omitting or not!
For a more robust solution--and depending on the kind of requests you're anticipating--you may need to get the search criteria elsewhere (eg, through global fields) and construct the find requests yourself in a script.
