I was wondering if someone could help me in designing the following search fo
r FMPro 2.0:

I want to perform a search initially by a given name in a field, but I want 
the search to finish so that it only gives the last five records entered under
this name. I have every record automatically time stamped when it is created.
Is there an easy way I can have a script search out the last five records
added based on the name from the current record being browsed, so that a
report could be printed out with only these five entries? Any help someone 
could give me on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Roger Swanson
