Re: Choose layout based on Field entry

"You can't always get what you want...but you get what you need!"

Filemaker doesn't won't run a script step without clicking on a button,
or if you wanted to purchase a plugin, by clicking out of a field.
"Radio Buttons" aren't really buttons. You're not pushing anything,
not even in a metaphorical sense, you're simply selecting a field
value.

With regular buttons, one for each value of the radio buttons, you can
easily use script parameters to contribute to your find request. (Or
different scripts depending on the version of FM.) If you have a lot
of values and using an older version of FM you could utilize a global
drop down list and one script. There's lots of options, except for the
one you really want.

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how I can navigate from one layout to another
based upon which button is pushed in a Radio Button field. Say there
were two Radio Buttons called A and B for a field called "Layout" When
A is pushed Layout A should appear. When B is pushed Layout B should
appear. I want to use Radio Buttons/Field and not regular buttons
because I want the Entry to not only control which layout is chosen but
it also is part of a Find/Constrain Found Set.

Thanks,
Rich
