When a search fails?

[peter_turner]

Hello,

I need to catch when a search fails to return any new data in QV9.

In a button i have the action 'Select in field', with e.g
Search TestField1
For text *Hello World*

If the raw data does'nt match my search values, then there is no selections made = makes sense.
However i need to tell the user that the search did'nt work.

I thought about counting the rows before and after the search, and comparing them. But the action button finishs before the count has completed, so i allways get the old wrong values.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter.

Hello Everyone,

Just an update to this post of mine...

I tryed to use 2 variables to count the number of rows before and after my selections had been made by the 'Select in field' action.
Something like
old_value=count(ID_Field)
select in field etc etc
new_value=count(ID_Field)

My 2 variables should have different values but we've found that QV completes the actions in a different order, where the 'select in field' finishs later (msecs later).
At present i'm looking into adding a pause or wait command so the final count completes with the new correct values.

Peter.
