set a layout according to choice in a pop-up list?

[chasm24]

a question for all the whizzes out there:

I would like to structure my database so that if I select an option in a pop-up list, then the database will know to display the record in a certain layout.

The database holds projects, but each project is measured according to different standards and therefore would need different layouts for a measurement page. Any idea how I might build this?

thanks in advance for the help.

Use scripts for all navigation, and have your scripts branch to the correct layout based on the value of the field.

If [ Field = "TypeA" ]

Go to Layout [ Layout A ]

Else If [Field = "Type B" ]

Go to Layout [ Layout B ]

...

End If

You might want to take a look at S4H QuickJumpMenus. http://www.softs4humans.com/FMPro_Plugins.html It uses the EventScript plug-in.
