  9. Editing the Search Page • <--Read the Comments--!> and then delete them. • In SimpleText, edit the [FMP-field:FieldName1 ] information to specify the field you would like the search for. • In SimpleText, name “path-to-file/ results.htm” • Save file in “Web” folder in FMPro 4 or 5

  10. Making the Results File • In the CDML Tool, change the Format File to “Results”. • Copy to Clipboard and paste into a new SimpleText Document. • Save it as the name you gave the results.htm page.
