Newbies prleo1 Posted October 28, 2004 Newbies Posted October 28, 2004 I am new to FileMaker Dev 7, so please excuse me if this seems like a stupid question. I have a Custom dialog window pop-up when a certain condition is satisfied. I am trying to insert a field name within the body of the text in the Custom Dialog window. For example, if a person selects an item that is assigned to another person, they get the message "This item has already been selected by another user." However, I would like the Dialog to state "This item has already been assigned to <<FieldName>>."
-Queue- Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Ampersand is the concatenation operator. When you specify the calculation, use "This item has already been assigned to " & FieldName & "."
Newbies prleo1 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Newbies Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks! I was forgetting to wrap the the field name with quotation marks.
Lee Smith Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hi prleo1, You are confused, you are not wrapping a field in quotations marks. You are wrapping the Text. First you have "This item has already been assigned to " and then adding the field & FieldName and then adding the period. & "." so the whole thing looks like "This item has already been assigned to " & FieldName & "."
