hi all~ is there a function that can get the field contents when it is made as a button? or to know the field name that is being pressed?

i am trying to make a calendar solution, and thanks to a guy who generously gave out a free one, but there are 37 day fields, and the user click on a day on the calendar, i wish to know which one was pressed...

thanks~

Try using Get(ActiveFieldContents) and Get(ActiveFieldName).

i did~ but that seems to work only if the cursor is within the field, and when the field is made into a button it doesn't let mouse cursor enter at all

I THINK this will work -

Go to Next Field

Go to Previous Field

before LaRetta's steps.

nope, no luck

i hardcored 37 scripts...

If you're using 7, you don't need 37 scripts, just 37 parameters. Each button could pass a different parameter to the script being called, but each button could call the same script. True, not as good as being able to just pass the field name (or repetition number), but it's better than 37 different scripts.

yea~ thanks chuck for the tip, it's not too late yet for me to change this. later the script might grow more complicated too.

that's a big help~
