Default Radio Button / Email Script - 02-01-2010 , 09:32 AM






Hi Folks,

I'm trying to create a script whereby after a scripted email is sent
out, a radio button field "receipt" changes from "no" to "yes". (I'm
not starting the script from the radio button: it's vice-versa). The
radio button is also on another layout (same database).

The script for the email all set; it's just the radio button change
I'm working on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

At the end of your email script, assuming there were no errors, add this
step:

Set Field [ Receipt; "Yes" ]

It doesn't really matter that the field is formatted as a radio button
or anything else. Setting a field is setting a field.

The one semi-exception being fields formatted as Checkboxes since they may
need previous values retained.

FileMaker (and some other software) actually does allow you to select
multiple options in a single Radio Button field, making them work just like
Checkboxes, but that is against all common sense of user interface design
and should be ignored.
