I can't seem to get copy and/or paste to work via a script. (FMP 5.5)

I have 2 global fields, one text the other a number. I wish to copy the info from each (one at a time) and paste the data into another set of global fields, one text and one a number resectively. I have select entire contents active for both copying and pasting. However, it doesn't work. This seems as if it should be simple, but I'm stumped. I have the correct files and fields identified.

Help, please. Thanks.

The most likely cause is that the field(s) aren't on the current layout, which they have to be. You are better off using SetField.

Hi Proton,

when you use the "paste" or the "replace" script steps, you have some rules to follow:

• the interested fields MUST be present on the current layout, else both statements don' t work

• if you are using the "copy" statement you MUST copy and paste multiple fiels only one at the time, in order to avoid a 'big casino'

Hope this helps, regards.
