Click a button in find to start a script

[Robbydobbs]

Is there a way to go from field to field and tab or enter into a button to click into a script.

ie.. [FIELD] (TAB) [FIELD] (TAB) [bUTTON] (ENTER)

Sorry Dobbers,

You can not access a button by tabbing into it.

Perhaps if you tell us a little more about what you are trying to accomplish, there will be another way of doing it that will be just as good or better.

I have a clerking database which starts at the [Customer ID number] (tab) into the [price] (tab) into the [product ID number] and then (tab) into the [script button] and hit (enter) to generate a script. Is this possible

[Lee Smith]

What action will the script to perform?

[jasonwood]

If this is for something repetitive, then just use a looping script like this...

Loop

Do your thing

Pause/Resume

End Loop

When you activate this script, it will perform the steps you assign, then wait for the user to hit "Enter". Every time the user hits "Enter", the script will start again.

Since you posted this to the Finding & Searching forum, I'm going to suggest another possibility in case the script you want to activate is one that is a search script for criteria entered by the user.

Go to Layout [ Search ]

Enter Find Mode [ Pause ]

Perform Find []

Basically, if you want to initiate a search as the script, you can enter Find mode with a script step and use the Pause option for the script step. Then when the user hits the Enter key, the script will resume. If there are other things you want to do, the script will get more complicated, but this might be what you're looking for. Just make sure that you don't restore the find options for either the Enter Find Mode or Perform Find steps, unless that's what you want to do. That option is checked by default when you add those steps.
