Mate, I wanted to let you know that I have been struggling with this same issue for some time and I have tried forums, help and could not get my head around it until I saw your video. In a few minutes I knew exactly what my problem was, (no global settings) and it all works. Thank you for taking the time to put this up. I am in Australia
Thank you Mike... I get so fustrated trying to find suggestions on how to improve my FM experience. I learned how to use a screen capture program that copies any area of the monitor screen (FastStone Capture). The program is so easy to use I have decided I will do a video on everything interesting that I learn... I just have to learn to be less wordy. (Portland, OR USA)
Richard, I have been struggling with this for such a long time and nothing was as clear as your example! I finally managed to perform a date range find! THANK YOU!
I am absolutely a beginner. I am trying to find 2 distinct numbers at the same time. I want just these two records to be found. How do I search for just 2 numbers that are NOT in succession?
If you are in your program 1. Press CTRL-F (Enter FIND mode) 2. Put your cursor in the find field. 3. Enter the FIRST VALUE or use the INDEX (CTRL-I... this gives you a list of every value in the field and you can select one). 4. Click NEW REQUEST (top left side) and enter the SECOND VALUE (or use the INDEX again). 5. Press ENTER. This will give you only records with those two numbers. Note... it is not limited to just two values... you can enter as many additional FIND VALUES as you like the same way. If you are trying to program it with a button so a user can always find by two numbers do this: New Script (CTRL-SHIFT-S) Click NEW (bottom left) Name the Script something like 'Find 2 Numbers' From the menu that appears on the left, scroll down to ENTER FIND MODE (enter the steps below by double clicking the correct command) (note... each command will be found on the same menu by scrolling up or down.) 1. Enter Find Mode (unclick PAUSE at the bottom left) 2. Go to Field (double click and insert the find field name by scrolling to it on the pop-up window) 3. Pause/Resume Script (don't be concerned that the word INDEFINITELY will also appear... that's just fine) 4. New Record/Request 5. Pause/Resume Script 6. Perform Find Then create a button by clicking the icon at the top of the screen with a finger pointing and in BUTTON SETUP use PERFORM SCRIPT and insert 'Find 2 Numbers' Return to BROWSE mode CTRL-B and click the button. It should take you to the right field and wait. enter a number. press enter. enter a number. press enter. Voila... there are the records with the two numbers. Best of luck with this. Many blessings... Richard p.s. I made another video just for you. You can find it at th-cam.com/video/G7paH4Li59g/w-d-xo.html It shows both the above solutions on the screen so you can advance and stop until you get it in your own head. R
