pop-up list that will activate script after entry

Featured Replies

I'm still working in Filemaker 6.0. I would like a pop-up list to activate a script after the entry has been made. I have created a script that will activate the pop-up list. However, the script doesn't wait for the entry before finishing. I hope there is an easy answer. I can't seem to find it by searching the forum.

A pop-up menu will not work in this situation. I'm running Windows XP. Thanks for any help.

There is an easy way...

GoTo Field(fieldname)

PauseResume(00:0:0)

ExitRecord/Request

Make sure the field is set to 'not allow entry'.

Thanks of the help, Steve. I still am not able to make it work. I can get your suggestion to work on a pop-up menu. However, the pop-up list does not work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

This technique only works on popup menus. There is no way to do what you want with lists.
