LF Connector Search for Folder and Open It Automatically

SELECTED ANSWER

You could try changing your name search to {LF:ParentName=%(MemberNumber), Type="F"}.

This would show you all the files that exist in a folder named %(MemberNumber).

I tried "ParentName", "Parent Name", "Parentname", and "Parent" - I got errors on every one of them.

I think he meant to make the "LF:LOOKIN" search be the full path to the parent folder.

Oh, sorry, you need quotes around your %(MemberNumber) token as well.

Note that all these entries are inside a folder called "Test":

I was wrong, ParentName is a valid search term. But you could also just make the search {LF:LOOKIN="main\Credit Union Member Information\Member Files\%(MemberNumber)"}

That would be ideal, but unfortunately, there is another level of folders that can change quite a bit.

main\Credit Union Member Information\Member Files\{the part here has lots of possible options}\%(MemberNumber)

But it looks like the error I was getting was because I was still including the Type="F" part of the search when I changed from Name to ParentName.

Here's what I ended up using:
{LF:ParentName=%(MemberNumber)} & {LF:LOOKIN="main\Credit Union Member Information\Member Files"}

I still wish it opened to the actual folder location, rather than as a list of search results, but it'll get the job done.
