Dutchy Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 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? Dutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 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 ) ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 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. Dutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 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 ) ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Might be a stupid question, but how do I do that? Dutchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I dont understand the issue. The script would simply be: Set Field [ Phase; Get ( ScriptParameter ) ] Go to Object [ Get ( ScriptParameter ) ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
