Is this possible to have a find performed in one window view of a
table effect the found set of another window view of the same table?
There are some whizbang experts on this forum, Riley, and it's
POSSIBLE that some of them can come up with an ingenious way to
make it happen, but the whole point of having separate windows in
the 1st place is that your activity in one of them will NOT affect
the condition of the other — any more than your performing a Find
in your own view of the database will immediately cause all other
USERS to see nothing but your found set. The idea is to be able to
do 2 different things simultaneously, not the same thing in
multiple locations.
So, basically, you're trying to swim upstream against the current
here.
Or perhaps in the wrong river?
If the point is to create an interface that somehow simulates other
programs, where your main data window stays in the background and a
dialog-like window opens in front for managing the find, then you can
do this. The point, though, is that the find does NOT take place in
the 'popup' window, but in the original one.
The popup is used simply to capture the find criteria -- you probably
want to do this in global fields -- then when it is dismissed those
criteria are used to set up a scripted find in the main window.
Does that help?
