NeoCryptic Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 i have a database with both software and non-software assets in it. i was told to keep it in the same table within the same database but with two different layouts. as it is now, there are the two layouts which i have a button to switch between when i get to something that looks like software to see it in the right form. i was wondering...is there a way to set up a filter or something so that if someone was going through all the assets...if it got to a software asset, it would display it in the software form, and if it got to a non-software asset, it would display it in that form? i am new to filemaker...i have done a little scripting in it so far, but i can't really see where to go with this. thanks.

Fitch Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 If you script the navigation, i.e. make your own "forward" and "back" buttons, the script is pretty straightforward. You can use a single script with a separate script parameter for each button: // First go to the next or previous record If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = "forward" ] . Go to record [next] Else . Go to record [previous] End If // Now look at the category field and change layout If [ asset = "software" ] . Go to layout [ software ] Else . Go to layout [ non-software ] End If Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
