Is there any way to tell whether or not a container field is empty by using a script?

Version: Developer v7

Platform: Mac OS X Jaguar

Yes, there is.

The IsEmpty( ) function will return a 1 if the field it references is empty, or a 0 if it is not empty, and this works for container fields as well as other types.

You can use IsEmpty( ) in a script by insertinmg it in a test such as an If[ ] step - eg:

If ["IsEmpty(YourContainerField)"]

{...do your stuff here...}

End If

This is one of the things that hasn't changed between versions 6 and 7.

Thank you very much for the help! Worked like a charm.
