Newbies prleo1 Posted October 28, 2004 Newbies Share 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>>." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Queue- Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ampersand is the concatenation operator. When you specify the calculation, use "This item has already been assigned to " & FieldName & "." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies prleo1 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Newbies Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks! I was forgetting to wrap the the field name with quotation marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted October 29, 2004 Share 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 & "."
