Hello all... another question that I can't figure out. In my d-base we print labels, postcards, letter1, letter2, letter, and we also send email. I created a field called "status" field formatted at checkbox. What I'm looking for is anytime we do one of the letters to check the appropriate box weather is a letter, postcard or an email. Can anyone help please.

Thanks

Hi Raul,

You could script the printing and have a statusfield that is updated by the printscripts, for example with a print script like this:

Print

Set Field [statusfield, StatusCurrent(LayoutName))

Your layouts need to be named according to their function, i.e. labels, postcards, letter1, letter2, letter and email

Statusfield could then display as checkboxes with a valuelist that gets it's values from the fieldvalues of Statusfield.

Hope this helps,

Ernst.

ernst, I've tried this and still can't get it to work. The value list for status field are postcard, letter1, letter2, letter2, email, labels. Now if I print labels, that checkbox is checked... but when I print letter1 it unchecks labels and checks letter1. How can I set it up to where it updates the field so that anything that is printed is check so I know what's been done with that specific record.
