Description

Use this script step in Browse mode or Preview mode. If you perform this script step in Find mode or Layout mode, FileMaker Pro Advanced switches to Browse mode after the records have been found.

Example 1

Shows all omitted records.

Show Custom Dialog ["Show omitted records?"]
If [Get ( LastMessageChoice ) = 1]
	Show Omitted Only
End If

Example 2

Demonstrates that using the Find Matching Records script step instead of Show Omitted Only can be a simpler way to create a found set of only the current record.

#With Show Omitted Only, multiple steps are necessary
#to create a new found set, omit the current record,
#and show only the omitted record.

Show All Records
Omit Record
Show Omitted Only

#A single Find Matching Records script step can perform the same task
#when a field with unique values, such as an Invoice ID field, is specified.

Find Matching Records [Replace; Invoices::Invoice ID]
