Quote of the day on Start UP

[Baylah]

Is there a way that if I had a table of quotations that when the open script is run FMP could randomly select a quote (record) and display it as part of my opening splash screen?

PS I'm not charging the client for the time to develop this...It is just something fun I would like to add for a client who is always quoting "Jack Handy" for you SNL fans.

It's quite easy, esp. in v.8:

Freeze Window [ ]

Go to Layout [ Quotations ]

Show All Records [ ]

Set Field [ Main::gQuoteOfDay; GetNthRecord ( Quotations::Quotation ; Ceiling ( Random * Get ( TotalRecordCount ) ) ) ]

Go to Layout [ original layout ]
