Get( ActiveObjectLayoutName) is not getting me the active object's name!!!

[Brett W]

Ok, this seems like it would be so simple.

I have a tab with different buttons on it to signify different searches. I have these buttons named through the Object window. I have done this so I can pass the Object Name, using Get(ActiveLayoutObjectName), through a script parameter. The object name would then be used as a search criteria that would be inserted in the script by the script step Insert Calculated Result.

I am trying this solution so that I might only create on script for all the searches. My hope was that when the named button is pressed, the name will be pick-up by the script parameter but it is not happening.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Pass directly each name through the script parameter
