Hi

I'm wondering! Is it possible to delete a record in a portal if the contents of one of it's fields are deleted. I know how to do it via a script, but in this particular instance it would be much neater to do it via a calc.

If you want to envoke a script based off a specific action of a field, you must use a plugin such as EventScript. If you simply want to not show it in the portal but not necessarily delete the record from the table, then you can have the portal based off an additional flag key.

Hi

Have considered both options but definitley wish to delete the record at the point it is no longer used. Also do not wish to use plugins as I want to avoid unecessary complications with third party tools at a later date.

Is it possible to invoke a script at the point you exit a record without using plugins?

No. That is why there is a plugin for this. The EventScript plugin does exactly that.

Can you call a script which can be performed on every button which you have kept on the layout before exiting the layout and also it can be the script which is called when closing all the files.
