Hello-

I would like to be able to automate the navigation to a field if the contents of another field matches a field name.

example

If I have a field named for each primary color

Field (RED) Field (YELLOW) Field (BLUE)

if the contents of another field (CHOICE)= any of my field names then navigate to that field

So if the user enters "red" in the field (CHOICE) the cursor goes to the field (RED)

and if the user enters "yellow" in the field (CHOICE) the cursor goes to the field (YELLOW)

and if the user enters "Blue" in the field (CHOICE) the cursor goes to the field (BLUE)

how can i make this happen in a script

i appreciate your help

Thanks

You could assign object names to your field objects, then use the Go to Object[] script step. Alternatively, you could loop among the fields until the active field name matches the choice (requires the fields to be included in the layout's tab order).

Either way, it sounds like a very weird user interface.
