set field script

[ggh]

I have a simple set field script step on an IWP database (attached to a button) - nothing happens. I added a commit step following the set field...didn't help. Any suggestions?

Is the Set Field step "compatible" with IWP?

In FM5, 6 - no.

However I understand that you can set fields in FM7 IWP.

Set field shows as being web compatible - I've yet to see it work!

[Vaughan]

Exactly what are you trying to set? The Set Field[] step only works when the data being set matches the data type of the field. So it won't work if you're tying to put ">1/1/2004" into a date field, because the string is not a valid date.

Yes, I think it would help if you posted an example... I have files set up for IWP that are filled with scripts that use Set Field[], and they all work.
