question on a script step from enclosed examples

[brucepensyl]

In another post I was asking for help in where to find script help that is "Dick and Jane" simple. Unfortunately I did not receive the answer I was looking for. So in tying to understand some of the examples that came with FMP7 I again got stumped.

In the Contact Management file there is a script step called - Go to form layout 2

the script step in question is - Set Field [Contact Management::Most recent form layout; 2]

Most Recent Form Layout is a global and number field

Could you please explain what is actually happening with this step.

How is the global function working, how is it set etc.....

In trying to reproduce this step in this file I was unable to enter the number 2 at the end of Most recent layout. What does the 2 mean and how is it entered?

Thanks all

It's setting the 'Most recent form layout' global with the number 2, signifying that the last layout it was on was the second one. It seems to have no purpose within the file itself though. It could be used to Go to Layout [number by calculation].
