Set warning window when using specific layout -

FMP 6 on a Mac I need to set a warning window when a record is being modified in a selected group of layouts, but not others. I have approx 50 layouts for my records and if there is a modification done on one of the records while in one of my specified layouts, I want to pop up a window. Here is an example: A record is selected and then a layout with the number of 1,2,3 is selected. As soon as the record starts being modified I want a window to pop up and remind me that I must do an additional step on this record based on the layout I selected. Any suggestions? |

What you want would require FM to perform an action (execute a script) in response to a change to a field or, better, upon entry to the field. FM would not do that natively in 6, it still doesn't do it natively in 8.5. A plug-in is required. My first thought is that you're out of luck. The only plugs of which I am aware that will accomplish on change or on entry execution don't work with 6, requiring at least 7. At the same time, I hear a little voice saying that somewhere I saw that someone had accomplished it with a plug for 6, but I have so far not been able to find such a thing.

Yes, there are are 2 plugins that do that in FMP6 : the 'oAzium Events' - made by "Wave in Motion" and available at http://www.onestopfilemaker.com/plug...vents_3.0.html - and the 'Troi Activator' - www.troi.com -. Each can launch a script when leaving a field if that field has been modified.

Plus the free "CallScript" plug-in at http://www.rnssoftware.com/downloads.php>. Actually, it looks like the plug-in is now called "ActiveX Script Runner" (Windows Only).
