script and layout

[snaves]

I want to be able to have the layout change if the user picks a choice in a drop down menu. I tried to script it but can't figure it-

Pseudo script:

If (custody = "Non-Custodial");

Go to Layout [Referral]

Else

Go to next field

**in the current layout's tab***

End If

But I can't get it to work? The trigger is choosing the answer in the drop down menu? I looked up script triggers for layouts-but the layout setup did not have a Script Triggers tab

Thank you in advance.

Your profile says: FMP8

There are not script triggers in that version.

I was afraid that might be the answer. Any other thoughts? I was trying to ensure the user not forget to do it, if they chose "Non-custodial". Is there a way to make a conditional script or caluclation.

If only my employer could afford v10-life would be nicer.

You can try this one...

no script triggers but, if I remember correctly, works only on win.

Is there a way to incorperate this script with a transparent button to trigger the script?

Thank you for helping me out!

I do not understand.

Plese, post an example of what you are after.

:( WOW UR EXAMPLE IS SUPER RAYBAUDI ITS AMAZING TO JUMP FROM DROPDOWN TO A LAYOUT but i have a question it jumped from non custodial to a layout but when we check records we may forget that we have to go to layout when its non custodial so to not to miss the records its better there some button or oicture as we select non custodial so that it jumps and makes a pic or button visible beside drop down list

No I can't get my script to work--I am attaching a dummy version of I am trying to do. I created check boxes as another attempt to get it to run.

I thought maybe a transparent button over the Non-custodial field might work. But if the button is on top, the checkbox does not fill. If the checkbox in on top, the button does not work. They will need to be able to query this field later.

Disregard table missing-I just copied the survey from the real dbf.

Where is the Loop ?

It seems that you missed it.

The only time this script would be used is at the time of record being created. The survey would be printed for the new record only. The query would be for monthly statistics and not have anything to do this the actual survey.

So I create new record, chose "non-custodial", automatically jumps to survey layout, print, and back to orginial layout so the rest of the data can be input.

I am sorry if this is confusing.
