Re: Pop-up menu should tricker date

More likely

Case ( PopUpField = "Finished" ;  Get(CurrentDate) ; "" )

Except that this will always show today's date. If your idea is to show the date on which the status was set to "Finished" and keep it that way, consider using EventScript (free plugin from http://www.softs4humans.com) to trigger a script which sets the date when the status changes.

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between "Begun" and "In Process"? Without specifics to the contrary, I would assume they are one and the same.

Set it 'unstored'.

Hi

I have created a pop-up menu in a FileMaker 7 database.

The pop-up menu displays values from the value list called Status, which contains the following custom values:

* Begun
* In process
* Finished

When a user set the menu to "Finished", todays date (//) should be written in another field.
So that this date can be recalled in the database.

How can that be done?

Thanks

Daniel
