link to layout through checkbox

[Dutchy]

Hi, don't know if what I want to do is possible with FM. I am rather new to Filemaker.

Within my database I have a project status field that is set as radio buttons. Phases 1-6

When I select Phase 1 in the status field I would like FM to go to or show the Phase 1 layout or tab. Is there any way of doing this?

Create a button that with empty fill and empty line that will sit over each radio selection in the field. Each one of the 6 buttons will reference the same script, however, attach a script parameter to each button of each number.

So in your script now, to go to different layouts:

If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = 1]

Go to Layout ["First layout"]

Else If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = 2]

Go to Layout ["Second layout"]

Else If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = 3]

Go to Layout ["Third layout"]

Else If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = 4]

Go to Layout ["Fourth layout"]

Else If [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) = 5]

Go to Layout ["Fifth layout"]

Else

Go to Layout ["Sixth layout"]

End If

Of if its tabs that you want to go to,

1. Name each tab as a object via the Object Viewer. Each object name can be the same as teh script parameter to make things easy for you.

The script would simply be:

Go to Object [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

Thanks, this seems to be working. However I would also like the radio buttons to be checked off when I go to a tab. The radio buttons let me know what status the project is in and the data on the tab gives me more detailed information about this stage of a project. How can I make sure the radio buttons are checked off and at the same time will be able to go to the set tab.

I thought that would be enough for you to go on but I apologize for my assumption.

Assuming that the value list for phase is just 1-6, just Set the Phase Field to the Script Parameter value as well.

Set Field [ Phase; Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

Might be a stupid question, but how do I do that?

I dont understand the issue.

The script would simply be:

Set Field [ Phase; Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

Go to Object [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

Sorry. I seemed to be in dying need of a break. All is clear now. And I think it is working. Thanks for your help, also on the score field issue.
