I have to think before I write.
I think this will work better: on keyDown var put the yourList of me into temp put var after me filter temp with me & "*" put temp into fld "results" end keyDown -----Original Message----- From: dunbarx <dunb...@aol.com> To: use-livecode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Wed, Jun 13, 2012 8:37 pm Subject: Re: Seeking a navigation system among 200 individual / card DB for attendance at camp You do not have to sort the cards, and you do not have to go anywhere until you actually find your target. This is generally good practice. Make an editable field. Set a custom property of that field (yourList) to all the names you want to find. Can you write a script to do this? Write back if you need help. Make another field named "results". Put this into the editable field. on keyDown var put the yourList of me into temp put var after me filter temp with "*" & me & "*" put temp into fld "results" end keyDown When you type into the field, the successive matches from the master list are winnowed, with the ever more refined matches loaded into fld "results". Play with this, it needs more functionality.
