"The action cannot be performed...

[seattleflo]

Hi all,

File is attached.

I think there is a "simple" resolution to this, but doggone it, I don't know how to do it.

I have two "sections" (manuscripts and contacts) in my database.

When I click on the buttons to either "assign a contact" or "add a manuscript" - I go to the correct page, but when I click on the arrow to add the manuscript/contact, I receive the message "The action cannot be performed because this filed is not modifiable."

I click o.k., it takes me back to the form layout, and it has entered the data.

It seems to be working, even though it is giving me that message.

How can I remove/resolve the message?

Thanks so much for your help.

Regards,

Seattleflo

Sorry What layout is your button on?

Hi,

On "Manuscripts - Form View" there is a button called "Assign Author(s) - Reviewer(s).

On "Contacts - Form View" under the "Manuscripts" tab, there is a button called "Assign Manuscript."

Thanks so much for your help.

In the script create new assigment -- you're trying to set the "email" field -- your email field is a calculation and so can't be set (it seems to be getting it's value from somewhere else anyway) -- just get rid of that script step

Thanks so much!

That did it.
