scripting value lists

[billem]

Can Scriptmaker open my Customer ID value list , choose the selection I want and add that selection to a field?

Hi

Set field[yourTable::yourField; GetValue("CustomerIdValueList"; yourChoosedNumber)]

didn't work ?

[billem]

Thanks, Ray. Haven't tried that yet, but it looks to be right

[billem]

there is no function "getValue" that i'm aware of. Did you mean GetNextSerialValue

You probably looked for it in the list of Get Functions, I do that too. This one is in the list of Functions.

However, notice the difference in how it looks:

[color:blue]GetValue(listOfValues;valueNumber)

whereas, the Get Functions look like this.

[color:blue]Get ( CurrentDate )

HTH

Guess I must be brain dead today, but when I list "all Functions by name" in the specify calculation window I don't find GetValue in the list.

Are you sure you are using version 8?

Are you sure you're using FileMaker 8?

[billem]

Yeah, 8.02

[billem]

Ahhh, I was was in my Developer 7 and not Filemaker 8. Sorry for the confusion

[Ender]

If you wish to have something that works in both FM7 and FM8, you can find or build a custom function (using Developer 7) that accomplishes the same thing.
