Copying a file

[nedbguy]

I would like to know how I change two fields (both with drop-down menues) whenever I run the copy event script.

First field is "Show Status" which has 8 choices. The one I want to display on the copied event is "Need Info"

Second field is "Show eng status" which has 3 choices. The one I want to display on the copied event is "Need techs".

Anyone know how to do this?

I guess you could store the current value of those two fields in variables. Then set those two fields to "Need Info" and "Need Techs" and have a script step save a copy. Then set the fields back to their orig values in the first file by setting the fields to the variable values that you set earlier.

However, what is the purpose of saving files in this manner?

Thanks for your reply. I figured it out after an hour or so.

What I did was to use the Set Field script for each of the two fields.

Works like a charm.

ex: Set Field [ events932::Show status; ("NEED INFO")]

and Set Field [ events932::Show eng status; ("NEED TECHS")].

I added these to spript lines underneath the previous 'Set Field' spript line.

And it works!!
