Automated Subfinds - Learning to be a power script writer
Try explaining this search request to your average user of a FileMaker Pro database. Find every person who's last name starts with "mac", contains "cle" in either the first name or last name, lives in one of these nine zip codes, 93015, 93430, 95966, 95230, 91030, 93410, 91383, 95212, 91405, and has a particular type of pet.
Ok, so the request seems odd, but it's an all too common problem when it comes to a complex search. Do you know how to automate a multiple request based find? Do your users? Probably not. That's why you need to learn and use this technique to make FileMaker's Query by Form method of searching much more powerful!
