Does anyone know how to write a script for a Find button to search in a specific field. For example, say I have fields A, B, and C and I want to associate a Find button with each field so that the button associated with Field A searches only Field A, the one associated with Field B only searches Field B, etc. Thanks, John

I'll take this opportunity to throw an item from my HC wishlist to the Apple HC developers: I want to be able to do the following: (1) find foo in background field "Item" of background "Information Card" Currently, find searchs all backgrounds. Alternatitively I would like to be able to say (2) find foo in background field "Item" and have that work. It appears that HC translates `background field "Item"' into a background field number or something. Anyway, it does not search only in background fields with the name "Item". Note that (1) and (2) are different, but with judicious naming of fields, the effect (1) could be accomplished with (2).
