People, I have a family ledger database I'm writing using Filemaker 6 for Mac.
The database contains a field called "Record Number" that stores a serial number for each record. I have a layout called "List" in which I typically will see many records displayed all at the same time. I want to be able to select one of the records displayed in the "List" layout, and activate a script that will find and display just that one selected record in the same "List" layout. I know such a script should be fairly easy to write, but as a Filemaker beginner, I'm having a heck of a time doing so. My idea was to select and copy the contents of "Record Number," then create a find request, paste the copied record number into "Record Number," then execute the find request. But the script doesn't work, the way I'm doing it, so far. I've tried all I can think of, and I'm kind of stuck, at this point. Can anyone assist me in writing such a script -- that will actually work? You all have been very helpful to me in the past, as I learn to write basic FMPro databases. I'd appreciate very much your help on this particular problem, also. Thanks very much, in advance.
