I have a script that shows a dialog, performs a find based on a users input into the dialog, prints the selected data, and then deletes it from the database. Everything works fine unless a user inadvertantly enters nothing into the find dialog and pushes enter. This obviously causes filemaker to find everythign in the database, print it, and delete whcih present obvious problems. How can I prevent a empty find field.
 
I'd say in the dialog let the user know what is about to happen and put a cancel button on the dialog followed by a

IF[ Get ( LastError )= 2 ]
do exactly what you want it to do.
End If
