Pop field with an attached script

[bckwheat]

Is it possible . . . (famous words on this board)

I have a pop up field that has two selections. Both of the selections are managers and what I would like to do is when manager 1 is selected an email script that I have built is activated. The other option I have "toy-ed" with is making the field a calculation and if the field = manager1 then basically run my email script. I am not having much success with either one.

any ideas

FileMaker doesn't make this sort of thing easy. There are plugins that allow this behavior to work exactly as you describe, such as the oAzium Events plugin from Waves In Motion (wmotion.com).

If you don't want to use a plugin, you can do this with FileMaker, but it's a kludge. Create a script with the following code:

Go to Field [MyPopUpField, Select]

Loop

Thanks,

I added else statement after the "perform script" to print to the second manager and all seems to work well except (he says). I am not able to select which manager in the pop up. if the manager is already select and I run the script then perfecto. Maybe I will change the time delay. anyway, thanks for help and any ideas you have on the pop up issue
