How can I get filemaker to allow me to type in a 6 digit number into a number field, then when I press enter perform a script of my choice? It's a PIA clicking the "import" button everytime.

Hi

search for EventScript or ZippScript plugins !

A possible solution is to use the Event Script by Gaston Forgues to trigger a script when the field is exited.

Another possible work around is using the built-in functionality to have a shortcut key run a script but it will reaquite the Ctrl key and other key.

There is no direct way of having the enter key run a script. The enter key can be used to continue a paused script.

Here's a possible alternative you may find helpful. In FM8 it's possible to Tab to buttons. In the example file when you tab out of the number field you end up on the button. It's not precisely what you want but it does lessen the PIA factor.

If you want it to work exactly as you stated, then you will need to use one of the plugins raybaudi and mr_vodka suggested.
