Default Calculated key? (FM 6) - 11-20-2005 , 03:11 PM






Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to create a key that would be dependent
on another field being >0.

If SAMPLEFIELD >0, KEYFIELD = (some sequential number).

What I want to do is have a script that passes KEYFIELD to a related
file.

Any helpful ideas appreciated.

I'm nt quite sure what you are trying to accomplish here.

but if you already have a related table why not use that relation to move
the value through. or else create a relation to do this for you (relate and
empty global to an empty global). Stick the value into a global, a gloval
can be used wether the relation is valid or not.

Further more are you certain that your samplefield never changes after
passing the value, thus leaving you with different values between tables.
