Displaying Find Criteria

[mattpacman]

I have posted 2 threads since I began using this site, and both have been answered in a very timely and accurate way. Both times, the advice provided turned to be a solution. Thanks to all who have posted replies to my previous threads!

However, I am back again with a new dilemma.

I have written a script that performs find requests by item, month and year. I would like to be able to display the criteria that was used to find these results, preferably in the header or footer of the results (columner-style) layout.

For example, if only an item (ex. toy sales) and a year (2002), (but no month) are entered in the find fields, then "toy sales" and "2002" would be displayed in the header/footer on the layout where the results are displayed.

I am using FMP 5.5 for Mac.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

If you are using a form to conduct the Find, one option that comes to mind right away is to copy the find information to one, or several global fields and display them in the header and footer.

You could add that to the script before the find is conducted. Using a global the information will not be lost after the find is run.
