ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 143
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
You can use Perform Find with or without specifying a find request in the script step:
• If you specify one or more find requests, this script step enters Find mode, performs the
specified find requests, then enters Browse mode.
• If you don’t specify a find request:
• In Find mode, this script step performs the current find requests, then enters Browse
mode.
• In any other mode, this script step enters Find mode, performs the last find request that
was executed, then enters Browse mode.
You can use Perform Find following an Enter Find Mode script step, either pausing the script to allow
the user to enter find criteria or using the Set Field script step to specify find criteria before
performing a find.
Example 1
Goes to the Invoice Details layout, enters Find mode, pauses for user input, performs a find, and
returns to the original layout.
Go to Layout ["Invoice Details"]
Enter Find Mode [Pause: On]
Perform Find [ ]
Go to Layout [original layout]
