Obviously you need t be inside a field in order to enter data!!!

However trying to enter data while not in a field causes filemaker to flash up a massage about needing to tab or entera field etc. etc.

Is there a way to capture that error code (I think it might be errorcode 905) so I can replace the filemaker message with a custom dialog box explaining in my own words?

Thanks

Capturing an error is possible only within a running script. Instead, try attaching a script trigger to the layout as shown in the example:

CustomMessage.zip

Thanks so much for your help and the example file.

You are a star

Thanks
