Extracting the Label Text of a button

[Toby B]

Hi,

I want to create a script that when it is launched will extract the label of the button that was clicked and use this information as the text to search with in the new layout.

Basically I have several floor plans with buttons representing the desks. Each button has a label reflecting the unique desk ID number. Instead of writing 300+ seperate scripts for each button I want to write one script that extracts the label and enters that value in the find request part of the script, and then assign this one script to every button.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Yes, if you use a field to label the button and test the contents of the field. In a single user file this could be a global field. In a multi user file it would be better to use non-global related fields from a one record setup file. -bd

Thanks for your idea but when I put multiple instances of a field on the layout and went back into browse mode they all show the same record.

So what I want is a single form layout that can display 60+ records in the same browse mode?

Any further ideas?

Thanks

Toby
