Search a database using a customized form
Here's a LotusScript solution for searching your database using a customized Search form
Here's a LotusScript solution for searching your database using a
customized Search form (i.e. to search for values by certain fields
or a combination of fields.)
The script also displays the results in a 'private on first use' folder.
This script is placed in a button on the Search form. The
fieldnames in the search form are identical to the fieldnames in my
default "Bug" form.
The search form when closed 'disappears' into a hidden view, so it
acts like a search template.
