Thanks for that guys. Adding in the time delay of one second seemed to do the trick!!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I did try adding an Exit Record step but what happens is that it adds the entry to the log as usual but doesn't allow the user to access the dropdown list contents at all (i.e user can't change the status at all)

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here goes... I have an Invoice Status field which the user can change by means of a dropdown box. What I need to do, is to write to a log file every time the user chooses a new status. How do I do this? I've been trying out a test script (I set the field as a button which performs the script) as follows... P.S. I'm fairly sure this can be solved by obtaining a plug-in but is there a way of doing it programmatically? Allow User Abort(Off) Go To Field[select/Perform, "Status"] # add to log file using the new value of the "Status" field Exit Script However, when trying to add the new status value to the log it doesn't work. It applies the addition to the log using the old value of the "Status" field and not the new value (i.e. if the user is changing the Status from "Awaiting Payment" to "Paid", then the value added to the log is "Awaiting Payment" and not "Paid"). Anyone have an idea how I could accomplish this?

Hi. I've a question regarding doing a search on a GetSummary calculation field. I have fields as follows... EmpId(Number) Status(Text) Date(Date) Count Of Student ID(Summary) No.Occurrences(Calculation = GetSummary(Count Of Student ID, Student ID) I need to be able to do a search for eg. Status = "Present" in Date Range 1/1/2004...31/12/2004 with no. occurrences per employee = 4 I'm having major difficulty doing the find for the no.employees. Is it possible to do this using a calculation field which uses getSummary? If I do the search first of all for the required Status and Date and then subsequently I sort by Student ID, then the No. occurrences shows up correctly but I can't seem to search directly for the no. occurrences. Anyone got an idea of how I might do this?

Thanks for that help.I had swapped the default buttons around, as I usually have Cancel as button 1 and Continue as button 2 in normal message dialog boxes (so that if they click on the X to close down the dialog box it will act as though they had cancelled the operation). It works fine now after swapping the button order back. Thanks again.

Hi. This is my first post to this site.Not sure if I'm in the correct thread for this post but here goes... I am trying to get the user to Input numeric information into 2 global fields, say Global1 & Global2, by using the Input Fields option of the ShowCustomDialog feature. Howver, the information does not seem to be saved to the fields after performing this script step. Eg. Set Field (Global1, 0) Set Field (Global2, 0) ShowCustomDialog("Enter the 2 numbers:", using Global1 & Global2 as the input fields) If I choose say 65.7 for Global1 & 33.9 for Global2 in this dialog, when I subsequently check their contents, they both stay as 0 instead of 65.7 & 33.9 Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?
