I have a table that has a container on each line. I'd like to drag a .pdf to the container and have filemaker GO TO that specific line that the container is on within the table. Currently the (blue) selector is randomly on one line or another and whenever I initiate a script with a container filemaker seems to grab the information from whatever line is selected instead of the line the container is on.

Thoughts?

Check out the "Drag and Drop"-examples here http://www.excelisys.com/filemaker-tips-tricks-demos-downloads.php

They give you an idea how drag&drop can be handled. Definitely worth the read!

I am afraid that's just how it is: dropping content into a field does not activate the field, or the record. And it cannot be used to trigger a script either.

 

Do not be confused by the Excelysis Drag and Drop demo, which works on an entirely different principle - see a more detailed discussion here.

​What script? You didn't say anything about a script.
