Question

I want a user to be able to do a search in the layout/table “Cages” and then click a button to run a script that will create a new record in a table called “CagesProtocolLineHistory” for each record in the found set.

Below is what I have so far which almost works but on go to original layout line it doesn’t go to the next record, it goes to a record near the end. I.e., it’s skipping some records.

Answer 1

Yes, Go to Record[ first ] before the loop will ensure that all records are copied. Otherwise, if the script starts at some record other than first, it will skip all records before this.

A couple of notes: FileMaker string comparison is case-insensitive by default, so you don’t need to use Upper() here. Also, in most cases it’s simpler not to copy all data through variables, but pass a single key and copy other data via lookups.
