Scripted Calc for Determining if a Record Has Been Selected

[Rich]

Greets, all:

I don't want a particular script to run unless a record--any record--has been selected, first. I tried using Get (RecordNumber) as a flag but no luck there. I'm sure it's simple but for the simple-minded like myself, well...

TIA for your help!

Try this,

If you don't name a field in a script,  it will not run unless you put the curser in a field.

[Rich]

You mean by using Get (ActiveFieldName) as the test since if a cursor isn't placed in a field then no fieldname will be captured?

You have not defined what it means for a record to be “selected “. 

Neither we nor Scriptmaker know what you want.

How is a “selected” record different from the current record?

 

[Rich]

Would the correct terminology be "in focus" or "active record"? ...but you're correct: the "selected" record isn't different from the current record.

[bruceR]

Then I don’t understand what you are trying to do.

If you are in browse mode; and the found set is not zero; then the script should always run?

What initiates the script? User clicks button?

Hi Ed

I sent you a Private Message on how you should ask your question,  including a link to Anatomy of a Good Topic.

Please read it and let me know if you have a problem.

Thanks again, Lee. I'm going to bow out for now because I need to get up to speed to express myself intelligently; I don't want to waste anybody's valuable time until I do.

Cheers.

Hey, TeacherEd, don't bow out. We're here to help and getting past terminology sometimes is where we start.
