Contact buttons, finding alphabet contacts

[lnopadol]

Various programs on the web now feature very easy to use contact database scheme. One of them I love to have it worked out on my FM database.

 

I have lots of contact, so I want to have A, B, C, ... buttons on the top of the page. Once I hit those buttons, it will sort out only A, or B, or C, etc.

 

I tried various options, nothing work.

 

Thank you so much.

You might try defining each letter as a button doing a Perform Script, with a script parameter corresponding to its letter. The single script might look something like:

 

Enter Find Mode[]

Set Field[Contact Name; get(scriptparameter)]

Perform Find[]

 

You might want to include error trapping so the user doesn't see those 'No records found' errors.

Thank you so much.

 

What will a script parameter be in the case of any contact start with a letter "A", or "B"?

[Ender]

For the letter A, the script parameter would be "A", for the letter B, the script parameter would be "B".

When I tried, I kept getting "Invalid Get function parameter.

Maybe check your syntax.
