im currently remaking my companies database from 5.5 to 9 adv. This hasnt been too easy because alot of the calculations that were used in 5.5 arent available in fmp 9. I was able to figure out most of them, but "Status( currentfieldcontents)=..." was one of those that i was unable to crack. Does anyone know what i can use in place of this?

It was part of a script in my 5.5 DB. It looked something like this:

If[status( CurrentFieldContents)=Date Lookup]

Go to Next Field

Copy[select]

and etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Many of the old Status functions became Get functions. Look at Get ( ActiveFieldContents).
