tmac Posted July 18, 2000 Share Posted July 18, 2000 Is there any way to change the "dialog" that runs when a delete record button is pressed? I don't mind the initial "permanently delete this ENTIRE record? but when the user selects cancel, an annoying second message asks if they wish to continue with "this script?" The problem is, most of my users don't know what "this script" is so they aren't sure whether to cancel or continue. I'd rather that after a message asked if they were sure they wanted to delete this record, the script would automatically resume (based on a cancel choice). I tried the 'show message' step followed by an if. I can get the record to delete by using 'status(current message choice) if they select Yes, but it also deletes if cancel is chosen. Can anyone walk me through the 'else' half of this statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies stella Posted July 18, 2000 Newbies Share Posted July 18, 2000 Hi there, Got an answer for your delete problem: show message[delete record IF ["status(current message choice)=1"] Exit Script End if IF ["status(current message choice)=2"] delete record/request [no dialog] End if NB: the status part is done as a calculation - try it Stella ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that you get the second message is that you have not turned on "Error Capture", thus the application is sending all error messages to the user. Beginning of your scrip put the "Set Error Capture (On)" step, and at the end put "Set Error Capture (off)". This will eliminate some of the messages and allow you to trap and deal with errors yourself. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Senior Filemaker Developer http://www.database-resources.com mailto:[email protected] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow abort allows the user the option of cancelling the progress of the script. That is it. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Senior Filemaker Developer http://www.database-resources.com mailto:[email protected] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
