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?

Yep, Set Field [field, "Cat

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.

thanxs a lot...

I have the following in my script (simplified):

Set Field ["Field", ""Dog

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

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

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
