Active Record

In a List view, is it possible to get the active record in a global field, and have it update everytime you change records without a script?

gvar1 = 1 when i'm in Record 1, when i jump to record 12, I want gvar1 to = 12.

Played around with this for a bit and couldn't get it to work. Just curious.

Hi Zero,

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to set a field value (whether global or standard) simply by placing your cursor in a field. A trigger (data change) must occur or a script (or plug-in) must fire it. I originally posted a sample but it was a kludge and I deleted it again.

Usually when I hit this kind of wall, it's because my approach is not sound. Sometimes it helps to step back and consider an attack from the side instead. If you would like to explain what you are attempting to accomplish by populating a global on record change and what your Users are doing on the list layout at the time, we could give you other ideas!? :o

Thanks LaRetta, unfortunatley this is what I was figuring the answer i got would be.

The good news is, that I don't need this for any current or future project, I just thought it would be nice to do, and that it might come in useful.
