Field issue after v5 to v8 upgrade

[mantech_dave]

After upgrading to v.8 we developed a problem with one of out fields in a layout. Previously we had a script that copy and pasted a value from another file and then pasted it into a field in the original layout. This is no longer working. However we are able to copy from the original layout and then paste into the other file using the same script. I have attempted creating a new script that mirrors the original but it still isn't working. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

A better method of moving data is the "set field" script step. If there is no relationship between the tables/records, then set a variable to the value from the 1st layout, switch to the 2nd layout and set the field to the value of the variable.

This is classified as a related table. I tried the Set(Field) command it still did not work. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
