Run Script after List Choice

[Fenton]

This is a file developed by a friend, Soren Dyhr, to which I added English instructions.

It uses the Insert from Index step in a rather unique way. The advantage of this method is that you can effectively run a script after the choice, either on change or cancel.

The value list itself can come from most anywhere. In this example it's fairly straightforward, but it can be adapted to work with related value lists and files.

That's pretty slick.

One suggestion though. You should set the format for 'aField' to not allow entry. Otherwise a user can bypass the script by tabbing into the field.

Yes, you're right. Looks better too.

Wow! It caused Win2kPro to crash on the first attempt. Second one worked all right, though. My question: what are the benefits (on Windows, at least) of using this technique rather than a pop-up menu with a Pause/Resume [ ]?

Thanks for the information, I think I have found what I need.
