I am attempting to have a script be called as son as a value as been chosen from a value list.

Script: open another database

Can it be done?

If this is your question, what you desire is possible, but requires a FM plug-in. A plugs like Sript Scheduler will trigger the execution of a script upon exiting a field. -bd

I think you can do it without the plug-in, but it won't be as easy.

Have a global field that sets itself to the value of the field when you get to the layout. Then enter a loop that pauses and continues every half second or so. Each time through the loop, check to see if the value of your field is equal to the value of the global. If it is not, exit the loop and do whatever processing you need.

It isn't a perfect solution, but I think it would work.
