simple scripting tutorial/lesson

[LeStew]

Hi guys~

so I'm trying to learn some basic scripting and it all seems like gibberish to me. Does anyone know of a quick primer lesson that I could take that would teach just the basics. I'm not a programmer by trade but am fairly tech savvy. any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

y'all rock!

I'd look at http://www.filemaker.com/support/training/fts.html

Surely it's not ALL gibberish? Go to layout... Enter Find mode...

The FTS does cover scripts pretty well. Worth the $ IMO, and if you're a Technet member it's half price.

Don't forget to check the online help, though, it's really not bad:

http://fmhelp.filemaker.com/fmphelp_11/en/html/help_script_cat.34.1.html#947319

How about posting a specific task you're trying to accomplish? Or a "what's wrong with this script" question? Best way to learn is to dive in and experiment.

My plan was to get a basic vernacular to start and then post questions and "HELP!!!" posts

Thanks guys!
