I have a check box with 5 cities in a value list, for instance

Atlanta

London

Sydney

Dhurban

Gossas

Now if I select the first three cities, How would my script that handles them know what cities are selected.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't figure out how to handle check boxes in FileMaker.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

it depends what you want oyur script to do.

But if you want to know what city was selected you can use a patterncount step to determine if a city name exists in the field

eg.

If (PatternCount(City,"Atlanta")

Do this

Else

If (PatternCount(City,"London")

Do this instead

Endif

Endif

This can be repeated for any number of scenarios.

Hope this is what you were after.

If not let me know

It works perfect Andy.

Thanks a lot.
