Hi All,

I have a db I wrote a year ago and I need to tweek some functionality.
I'm running with FM Pro v6.4

Question is:
Can a script be launched from the "Enter" key ?

A text field takes numeric characters like 321104, from here I'd like
<cr>(ie .."Enter" key) and run my script,without leaving the test
field. Currently there is a button (ENTER DATA) that runs the
script, but this seems clunky, to mouse over and click the button.

Can the script launch via "Enter" key be accomplished ?? Any clever
suggestions ??

Thank you in advance.

Set the field itself as a button to run the script. Add these two steps
to the top of your script:

Go to Field [MyField]
Pause/Resume Script
#the rest of your original script here

This way, click in the field lets the user go into the field and
clicking enter (not 'return', but 'enter') will resume the script and do
what you're already doing.

Note that the script will remain paused until enter is hit. Which means
that if the user goes to another field or layout or anything else, the
script is still paused. Therefore, this method should only be used for
very controlled circumstances.
