Hi,

I haven't used FM5 for a while. Help me out here, is this possible? I want to create little reading flash-card program for some students. I want them to see a screen which will display a single word from a list of words. They will use a NEXT WORD button to advance to the next word. The words will be selected at random from the list. The list should be modifiable by the students (ie. they can add to it when they learn a new word.)

I know I'm asking a lot here, but if you give me some general pointers (eg. what function to use) I think I'll probably remember enough to get going.

Thanks.

Paul

Set up so that each record contains one word from the list in a text field;

Create a global field that returns a number;

Create a script that:

> Sets the global field to the following calc:

Round((Random* Status(CurrentRecordCount)), 0)

> Then goes to the record determined by the field value of the global field.

Attach the script to the button.
