How do I trigger a script when I move from one record to another?

Hi

I'm trying to run a script whenever I enter or leave a record, but cannot find a way to do it. Any ideas?

you'll need to "lock down" your layout so that the only way to move from that record is thru a button (that has your script attached to it).

For example, in a popup window dialog, the button could be called, "Done" .

Thanks bcooney

The thing is we're working in table view and it has to work while you move up or down through the table or if you click on a different record in the table. I tried to make a loop script that starts when you open the database and "looks" for a change in the Record number to execute another script, but that's a very cumbersome approach. It would be much easier if a move from one record to another would trigger the script.

Sorry, I believe that table view is quite limiting since you can't put buttons on a record row.

Hi

since you own 8, you can use ToolTip and EventScript to fire a script.

See the attached example
