Nicholas, Let's say the global name is Smith. do a find; in the blank global name enter Smith, press enter immediately go to the scripts command; create a new script - when the window opens, you should see a find script step that will have Smith in the global name field. name the script global names for Smith. You do the same procedure for all other criteria - another example. You have date of 01/01/2007. enter find mode, in blank field enter 01/01/2007, press enter; go to scripts, create new script, window popsup, you will see a find script step - the criteria will be set for 01/01/2007 copy and paste are different from find.

I can manually fill the fields of a layout in the FIND view and it works. But I cannot figure out how to do it in a script. I thought that the Copy and Paste statements for each field would do it but it seems that the first Copy loads values that are not replaced when I issue the second one. I am using Filemaker Pro 5.5
