Capturing an error

[johnrh]

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

John

Before some tells me this is a double post - I tried posting and it said the service was unavailable so I waited and tried again - for some reason it took both posts.

Sorry

You could use an OnLayoutKeystroke script trigger that checks to see if Get ( ActiveFieldName ) is empty.

If [ isEmpty ( Get(ActiveFieldName) ) ]

Show Custom Dialog[]

Exit Script [False]

End If

I'd skip the dialog box though and just Exit Script [False].
