ScriptSteps SetField (by name), GotoField(by name)

This file shows how to make up for the inability of FileMaker to Set a Field by Name or to go to a specific Field on a Layout.

Sorry - Mac only a all of these Scripts use AppleScript.

In FileMaker 7, instead of the field

Sorry, this absolutely does NOT work in FMP7. It also downloads as an FMP5.

Posted a .fp5 for compatability.

Sorry, I did not test it in 7.

The AppleScript Object hierarchy is kind of arkward here.

Since you can have different "current records" (one for each window), you will have to change the scripts to make sure to change the correct record.

Have a look at the 2 files scripts and compare the scripts. I prefer addressing by record ID, which seems to be consistantly related to the database even when records are in different tables. no dupe ids.
