Search Dialog error

Hi Guys,
Don’t know if this is an error, or just bad coding on my part. I have several tab forms from which I want to search. In the global find I use I have the following method:

globals.current_form = currentcontroller.getName();
currentcontroller.find();

This allows me to find on any tabbed form in the solution. However, If the search fails and produces no results, the dialog box pops up and asks if I want to “Modify last find”. If I answer yes and alter the search, the result is all records, not the modified search results.

Am I using the global find in the correct manner, or is this a bug?

Thanks
Graham

Here’s the note I got from the user:

When a search fails and the dialog box says, “No Results, Modify Last Find?” and you say yes and modify your search criteria, the result is all records, not the records that match the modified criteria.

OK,
I thought it was the way I had coded this, but after getting the time to dig deeper, seems this is the default behavior.

I tried the same thing with the CRM demo, and got the same behavior. I’ll educate myself and my users.

Thanks
Graham
