Can a Script Create Fields?

[The Chief]

Hey gang,

I was wondering if there was someway I could create a script in FM to create a field in a table. Ideally I would like it to take a value from another field, where the user has entered a text value, and create the field using that value at the name.

Thanks!

No!

Are you really saying that you want the value of a field in another table to "appear" as the field label in a layout in the first table?

Yes, that can be done with applescript and GUI scripting. I've got an applescript that lets you pick a source table then a target file, it opens define fields and enters the field names in the target file no problem.
