Check two check boxes with a Script

[George TOUBALIS]

Lets say we have a field (check boxes) who takes values from a value list

Lets say that the result in the field is 2 values a Dog and a Cat (2 check boxes)

Is there a way to check not the one but two check boxes "Dog and a Cat" with a Script?

[-Queue-]

Yep, Set Field [field, "Cat

[-Queue-]

You end up with an extra return if the item is at the beginning or end of the field. But it's too late for me to rectify that right now. I can't think anymore. I'm going to bed.

I have the following in my script (simplified):

Set Field ["Field", ""Dog

[-Queue-]

Format a copy of the field as a standard field. After running your script, how does the data appear in the field?

[mamawong50]

Formatting the field as standard, shows both dog and cat in the field. When I change the field format to "check boxes" only Cat is selected. BTW, I am using FMP6

Maybe you have a space in your parameter, like "Dog

[mamawong50]

Thank you! All is well, I did have one space too many in my parameter. This forum is GREAT!

I have a CSV file of English towns. How would i write a script in Filemaker Pro 6 to sequentially check if each town is in a particular field of my database, and, if it is, to check a radio button "England" for that record?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

The details depend heavily on your FM version (7 or prior), but my general approach would be:

1) Import the CSV file in a new FM table/file

2) set up a relationship between the field
