Running Scripts in a Calculation Formula

[Addam]

Is it possible to activate a script in a calculation field?

ie:

If(enduser = Gregg, run script "email")

That was just an example... I hope you all can understand what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thank You!!

You can do the If stuff in script.

Not all calculation fields are automatically processed.

The resulting value of a calculation can't be used to initiate a script. For your application there are probably a lot of other ways to do the triggering. You can have a looping script that checks the end user ever 5 minutes or use a plug-in to trigger a script to check the end user on a periodic basis or put the check for end user in a startup script for the file or put the check for end user in all of your navigation scripts between layouts or (well, you get the idea).
