	this is a pluging made to be used in both contexts [client and server]
	I actually did restart FileMaker server as well as the Mac it is 
running on several times.
	I found out that the plugin on the main page for download was v14 only 
(would've been helpfull to have that displayed), and changed it out for 
a v11 specific one; and think I have that problem solved,

Harry;
	here is the actuall code of the varible and the script below:

NeedsToBeOrderedFlag: Calculation unstored
	If((Customer Open Orders + Qty On Back Order) > (Qty On Hand + Vendor 
Open Orders + Received Today);1;"")


	Enter Browse Mode []
	Show All Records

	Go To Layout ["Qty's to Order"]
	Enter Find Mode []
	Set Field [NeedsToBeOrderedFlag; 1]
	Perform Find []    ----here is were it borks on the server but not on client



THANKS Harry for the responce and Help!!!!
