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.

Subject: How to write a FIND script
If I want to fill several fields with find criteria, how would I write a
script to do it?
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
