Hi

I am having problems with this:

I want to have a warning message pop up if a particular item has been selected in a fields pull down menu. I can do this with a script but it then needs to be triggered by clicking something else. Does anyone know any other way I can acheive this.

Hi, Lucky. Can you put a calc field on the layout that evaluates to

Case ( EntryField = "FlagValue " , "WARNING MESSAGE" , "" )

?

It's not a message box, but depending on what you're doing maybe it'll suit your needs.

You could also use field validation, but that might get messy.

You can remove the false null result in Jerry's calc too.

Lucky? What FM version are you using? It would help to update your profile.

If you are using 7, you can use a global text with auto-enter (set the text format to red if you wish and place it next to your popup) with something like:

If(text = "A"; "Warning!")

Unclick 'Do not replace existing value' right under the 'Calculated Value > Specify' button.

I have managed to do it by field validation.

Thank you all for your response.
