Working with information in records 4-25
Repeating, editing, and deleting find requests
You can repeat the most recent find request to find records that match
the same criteria. If you add or delete records after defining the first
request, the result is a different set of found records. You may also edit
your requests before finding records again.
You can delete requests as long as you keep at least one.
Note Performing a find retrieves records from all the records in the file,
not just from those previously found.
Omitting records
When you don’t want to include all records in a particular group, you
can omit the records to exclude, to make them temporarily unavailable.
Omitting a record doesn’t remove it from the file; the record is removed
only from the current found set. Omitted records aren’t included in
summaries, and they aren’t sorted, printed, or exported to another file.
You can also mix requests to find some records and omit others.
FileMaker Pro works through multiple requests in order, so you first define
the criteria for finding records and then the criteria for omitting records.
