field skips and go to

[jodibee]

Hi,

Was not sure where I should post this request for info. Am using FMP 5.5 v.2, having previously converted from Access. In my Access days, I was able to set up field skips and navigate cursor locations based upon field value criteria, eg. If field x = 1 go to field y, if field x = 2 or 3 or 4 etc go to field z (or wherever). How do I do this in Filemaker as an automated non calculated non scripted field or button?

Thanks

Short answer is you can't. FileMaker doesn't have the set focus event that Access does.

FM is very old application. Those are aspects, which everybody dislike and FMI didn't update the screen handling much or not at all for past 10 years.
