Hi guys,

I am trying to make a button appear or disappear on a layout based on a calculation.

If field "X" is not empty, I want to have a button appear on the layout that allow to execute a script.

I defined two fields:

1: Calculation field with

If ( not IsEmpty ( Implant::Failure Time );Implant::Failed_New_co)

2: Container field Failed_New_co

The problem is that the copied icon loses its assigned script once I pasted it in the Container field.

Any help please?!

Thank you

Paul

An example speaks louder than words!

The condition to show the button is a boolean calculation:

result 1 when the condition is met;

result 0 otherwise.

The button is in another table with a constant 1

Relation: when 1 = 1 => show the button.

I got the Visibility file from your website.

Beautiful!!

Thanx

Is not my website. Its John Mark Osborne's.

Unfortuntly i can't even test it because the program is locked, let alone see how he did the coding so that i can replicate it.

The technique is on many sites. Try databasepros.com

Thats where the link leads to...

The file is unlocked. You have to unzip it first (take the file out of the zip)...

Second, scripting has nothing to do with the technique. It is purely relational driven.
