In regards to: "Add a display only field that you use to signal workflow on Window Open( or is it Window loaded for after the values are set in the fields after an Open Window action?)"
Its probably best just to add both. Oh, and throw in "On Display" too for good measure. :-) Thad P.S. Yes, someone other than you is being teased/taunted here.

Do what Frank said... > >Add field 1005 (Search Bar) to the form your are searching. > >Create an active link on button click that does the following: > > > > - Open Window: Search, Form Name, set the Search Bar field to the > > query ( I am a bit skeptical about the PERFORM-ACTION-SET-PREFERENCE 23203 1 part, but I doubt it will hurt this functionally. It just might confuse users when their preferences change unexpectedly.) And... Add a display only field that you use to signal workflow on Window Open( or is it Window loaded for after the values are set in the fields after an Open Window action?) Add an active link that also fires on Window Open (or was it Window Loaded?) that sees this special value in the display only field that causes two things to happen. 1) Clear the display only field 2) Perform the search ( VIA the special function PERFORM-ACTION-APPLY) I think that will leave the user in a modify window (if matching records are found) or it will give the normal no match error msg. And I think that method should leave the "Search information" in the client as the "last search the user did" too.
