If at first record, how dim [Prev] button and disable?

I've set up [Prev] and [Next] buttons to move through records in a layout.

When the user is at the first record I would like the [Prev] button to turn gray (not disappear) and be non-clickable. Same for the [Next] button when user is at last record.

Is this possible? Thx.

Easy...

If (get(RecordNumber) = 1; InactivePrevious; ActivePrevious)

If (get(RecordNumber) = Get(FoundCount); InactiveNext; ActiveNext)

The calculations go into a calculation field called next or previous with result container ... make sure its unstored aswell... the reference made to InactivePrevious etc. are the fields where you store either the image itself (i.e. in a container field)... or the image path in a text field...

have fun

that was for the image... for the script to attach to the button you would have something like

If Get(RecordNumber) = Get(FoundCount)

Do whatever when last record

Else

Do whatever when not last record

End If

...etc

Thanks for your help, aflgenx. I *finally* succeeded, but only after a lot of trial and error (and a bit of cursing) as I tried to figure out how to put all the pieces together. This would make a great tutorial for beginners like me with a bit of fleshing out and going step by step.

Thanks again.
