Why can't FM return a field name when running a script

I am using a external plugin that pops up a calendar (from PCC). I've got 30 fields on a layout that should be wired to use this plugin. I'm using a script to activate the plugin, so that the user can go to field # 'n', popup the calendar,go to another field and do the same thing, etc. The function 'StatusCurrentFieldName' does not appear to work when a script is wired to the field, so I've had to write 30 separate scripts. Does anyone know a better way? Ideally, all the popups should be handled by 1 script. Thanks.

Have you thought of using AppleScript? I don't know if you're on the Mac, but AppleScript can do what you need.

Have you thought of using AppleScript? I don't know if you're on the Mac, but AppleScript can do what you need. In fact, I just finished writing an article regarding this very thing. If you would like details, let me know.
