Re: Find on Field gives Incorrect Result


Hi...yes I agree with your analogy but I am not searching for students
and getting students.

I will try again and please be patient with me because I am a new
user.

FileMaker Pro v. 8.5, FileMaker Server, Windows Op XP Professional.

I linked a radio button from one layout to another. When I perform a
find for questionaire=active radio button and "only active radio
button" I get results that do not make sense. An active radio button
to me means that the center is filled in. I do not get all of the
records in the database but not all of the returns have an active
radio button.

I have constrained the find to just questionaire=active radio button.

I hope I have been more clear.

Thanks.


Without further details I can't work out what is happening. Can you post the
script with all the details (where you are when you start it, how do you
start it, etc) or else reproduce a very accurate step-by-step. Generally a
plain 1 on 1 search should return what you expect. The fact that it doesn't
is suspect. And please remember that a button list is only added onto a
normal textfield to function as on/of switches. The contents of the field
remains a simple text. You might also try to put a version of the same field
alongside, plain without any additions, make it a bit larger so any
extranious lines with return will show. Put a Pause step between evry script
step and run the script, verify that after eacgh step you see what you
expect. You might try to use a step-by-step find (goto find, set field,
perform find) to make more clear what is happening.

Keep well, Ursus
