indirect field references

[fholden]

In scripting...

Using the status(currentFieldName) I can retrieve the name of a selected field. Is there a function (like 'indirect') that will retrieve the content of that field?

Thanks for any help.

No, unfortuately not.

You'll have to do a case statement on that field name.... Assuming you have the fieldname in a field called "WhichField" your case statement would look like:

case (

whichfield = "firstname", firstname,

whichfield = "lastname", lastname,

"UNKNOWN FIELD"

)

Hope this helps!
