Small question. Filemaker 8.5 convenietly "remembers" the selected field of the last find for me, which usually means I need to reach for the mouse a lot more when doing a find. (The tab position isn't reset when I go to another window as with fm6). I don't suppose there's a way make it work the old way?l
I use a "Find" button that's attached to a script in which I specify the field I want to start in (different for each table, and conceivably for each layout) upon clicking the button.
Do this using the script step "If" and the functions "Get ( LayoutTableName )" -- or "Get ( LayoutName )" -- and "Go to Field", with a bunch of "Else If"s for the other tables.
If you really want to get fancy, you can set the "Find Button" script to check to see if modifier keys are depressed, and use your findings to switch to a different field. I eschew this approach, because I've got my own "Find Button" script set to do a "Show All Records" when it's clicked in the presence of ANY modifier key.
