Hi

I am trying to convert a value that i have in my filemaker database into another one ie TT into 1!can i do this as a script button?

also we have already got a calculation in place that changes numbers into other numbers ie.2 into 1 so that it can add up how many 2s there are but when i try to put in the TT value it says it cant find the spcified field!

Please help as tearing my hair out over this!

If I understand you correctly you want to change certain text that may be in a specific fields to a number?

So create a script:

If(field = "TT"

Set field(field, 1)

Endif

If you want it to loop through a found set or all your records:

Allow User Abort(Off)

Go To Record Request (First)

If(field = "TT"

Set field(field, 1)

Endif

Go To Record Request (Next)

Loop

If(field = "TT"

Set field(field, 1)

Go To Record Request (Next, exit after last)

Endif

EndLoop

[color:red]**** I would suggest that you make a back up of your file before trying this or any script that is changing data in many records.[color:red]****

Also, I wrote this off the cuff and most of my scripts require some adjusting. I rarely get it on the first try.
