I am trying to make a button so that when it is clicked, it checks to see what the value of a radio button is...and depending on the value, shows a certain layout. i have it so that it gets the table and the field name...but i'm not sure how to say what i want it to be equal to.

ie. If

table::fieldname = ...?

just value of the selected radio button option.

For a non-dynamic approach to this solution here is a good example for your button script:

# Start of Script

if (tablename::fieldname = "test1")

go to layout (layout1)

end if

if (tablename::fieldname = "test2")

go to layout (layout2)

end if

# End of Script
