It might be as easy as triggering a View as Form. You are on the same
layout, you only "see" the one record.

Chris,
It would have been nice to see your script, so we could offer
corrections to it so you would learn from that experience.
Assuming the "Record Number" field is on the "List" layout, your
method should work as you described. Two stumbling points are (1)
do _not_ "Restore find requests" in the "Enter Find Mode" script
step; and (2) in the "Perform Find" script step, do _not_ "Restore
Find Requests", but do "Replace Found Set".
If these suggestions don't get your script working properly, then
please post the script (which I realize is a pain to manually type
into an email message).
Best wishes,

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.
