run a script when..

[jd9027]

How can I make file maker run a script when a user selects ..Edit or ..Other from a popup list or popup menu. Can I make it so that FM will take the user to a different layout when someone chooses Edit or other form the dropdown list?

Make a global field gLayout

And

a Global variable $$Layout

Allow User Abort [Off]

Set Error Capture [On]

Set Variable [$$Layout,Value:yourtablename::gLayout]

Go To Layout($$Layout)

Make gLayout a Drop down field and set your valuelist. Then create a button and chose "Perform Script" on the bottom set up your scriptparameter as $$Layout.

Now when you chose a layout name and click the button it will bring you to the chosen layout.
