Hi I have a selector field that is not in the tab order and I made it un-enterable as well. I named the field object "SelectorField". The field is a button that basically ends in a go to object script step that sends the user to the SelectorField object. Problem is it doesn't open the value list, it just puts a black border around the field. Anyone know how to make the value list pop open? I don't want to use go to field because I want to use this script on many screens. (when is Filemaker going to give us go to field name by calculation!!!:)

Update, I now know why the list isn't popping. It's because the field is defined as a button. When I made a duplicate of the field and cleared the object name of the button field, the value list did pop up on the duplicate field. So I suppose I could nest these fields together. I just hate doing klugey stuff like that tho. Anyone have an idea of how to make the button field pop?
