plugin to run script on enter/exit of record/field

[Batfastad]

Anyone know of a plugin that can add the following functionality to filemaker 5.5?

I'm looking for a plugin that can run a script upon the entering/exiting of a field/record.

Or even better, on the modification of a record.

Anyone know?

I've had a real search around but have been unable to find anything.

There are two plugins:

http://www.wmotion.com/events.html

I'm more familiar with the latter, although I'd love to hear if anyone has thoughts on how they compare. You can run a script on exiting a field, but it only triggers if you've actually modified the field, i.e. it uses the same mechanism as field validation. It doesn't do anything on entering a field, although if you take the field out of the tab order or disallow entry, you can assign the field as a button and control it with a script with no plugin. I'm not sure if you can trigger on record modification.

Database Pros - The best FileMaker resource on the internet - John Mark Osborne has this exiting field Plug-in for download ([color:"red"]WIN and [color:"blue"]MAC). You can find this Plug-in on the FileMaker Pro 7 Developer CD also.

So, hurry up and visit the Home Page of John Mark Osborne. He has other nice FileMaker tips as well. Sincerely Ralph

Is that for filemaker 7?

We're still using filemaker 5.5 here

If you're on Windows, you can use my free plug-in to do this.
