Hi , I am trying to extract data from body fields to place in summary parts and then perform a comparison calculation on the data. The script steps work ( or don't) like this: Perform Find (Department) Sort (Job Card No.) Go to First record Copy(Define Field=Job Card No.) (the fields above are in the body) Paste(define field=First job Card) (This field is in the summary) Go to last record Copy(Define Field=Job Card No.) (this field is in the body) Past (Define Field=Last Card No.) (This field is in the summary) I then want to subtract the first card No. from the last card No.+1 and compare this with the record count which should be equal. This would tell me if any job cards were missing, however the data does not get pasted. I have tried to add a set field to Firts card No. etc but it still does not work. Any Ideas please Oyseka

I am unable to print to my Epson 760 under OS X when in FM 5.5. I can print from other OS X applications, i.e. Freehand 10. I can also print from FM 5.0 under Classic. Does anybody have any ideas Chris

Sorry my brain has been sent for dry cleaning. I am performing a calculation on a set of records depending on the creation date, so the fomula is simple, if(creation date >01/04/2002:x*y:0), but the resultant calculation ignores the date and applies to the all the records. What am I missing in the date format. The creation date field is a date field and the calculation result is a number Chris

Unfortunately, having bought FMP5.5 and OS X and not being aware that the Dial Phone script step does not work I am now faced with ditching both and going back to FMP5 and OS 9x as my time recording system totally relies on this script. Does any one know of a workround. or have I just wasted money. Also does anybody know of a CLI and Voice Phone enabled modem for the Mac

I have seen or heard about a facility to protect individual records and layouts by password. I am not sure if this is a plug in or script function. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Oyseka (South Africa) ikon@pixie.co.za

Hi, is it possible to set a valid password for a period and then automatically change to a different password for the next period. i.e. if it is June then the password is harry, if it is July then the password is paul and so on. ikon@pixie.co.za Thanks Oyseka (South Africa)
