Hi Chris,
Assuming that the desired record has been selected, your script only
needs 3 steps:
Show All Records
Omit Record
Show Omitted Only

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.
