Hello,

Is it possible to create a script to change a field in "define fields" with a serial number.

In ScriptMaker we can use the step "Open Define fields", but is it also possible to open a field in Define fields?

What I want is the posibility to reset the serial number.

Like to hear some ideas on this matter.

Greetings,

Jukkie

Why not just use the Replace script step?

Well I've changed my mind ... I had deleted my answer but:

Script Step Set Next Serial Value and calculation help of:

GetNextSerialValue ( fileName ; fieldName )

... if you want to know what the value WAS to use within your calculation. I didn't know what you want to set it TO. :^)

Replace Field Contents[] can increment a serial (and update field definitions) but you can't apply a calculated result AND update the incrementing field definition. And it would insist on changing an existing field value (because that is this script-steps purpose).

Hi LaRetta,

Did you notice that they are using v6?

Nope, thank you, Lee.

The Set Next Serial Value was below in Miscellaneous in vs. 6. Everything else should remain the same.
