Default HOWTO: navigate records externally using automation - 09-01-2005 , 08:07 PM






Does anyone know how to scroll to a record using automation to control
a filemaker script externally? Something along the lines of:

Public Sub ScrollToRecord(id As integer)
'pass value in ID to filemaker somehow

'execute a static script that scrolls the to specified record
End Sub

Any help would be appreciated.
Alex

Are you saying you have a number somewhere and now you want to pass
that number to a FileMaker script which is to navigate to that record
number?

If you're on a Mac you can use Apple Script to call FileMaker scripts.
I don't know if you can pass a script parameter, but if not then copy
your number to the clipboard and have the FM script paste it into a
global and then go to record number based on the global.
