As I toggle thru records within a database (using the record icon in the upper left), is there a way for Filemaker to run a script (automatically) as it goes to the next record?

example: I have an "If" script set up to "switch layouts" when a certain "field" has a certain "value". But as I toggle thru records, how can Filemaker check the "If" statement everytime I toggle to the next record?

I don't think you can if you use the filemaker record icon but an alternative might be to set up a 'Next' button on each layout with a script attached along the lines of

go to record(next)

If field a = 'whatever'

go to layout 'wherever'

endif

If field a = 'whatever -b'

go to layout 'wherever -b'

endif

Hi

if you'll go on FM8, you can try this one.

But you'll need the EventScript plugin
