Why doesn't Filemaker provide users with such a feature: The ability to trigger a script on exiting a field. The requirement to either use the mouse or press the CTRL/Arrow keys to move from record to record in a List layout is cumbersome at best, and downright crappy at worst. Surely, FM can give us better navigational tools. Perhaps there is another solution to allow users move smoothly doing heavy duty data entry in vertical colums in list layouts Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
