Hi Dave!
I don't know how to change the script order. I think that is what I need help with. Also, if I define fields while on the imppay screen can I then define fields on the payments screen and have them be the same?
When you are looking at the imppay screen, you are in the file
imppay0_.103. This is different from the paymnts_.103 where the data
ends up, and you need to create the fields in both files to make the
process work. You can give them the same name, because they are in
different files.
It seems like I should be able to create them someplace and then pull the fields in layout mode, but they don't show up in any list even though I created them in the imppay screen?
My guess is that you are trying to put them on a layout in the
paymnts file. Once you create the fields in the paymnts file, you'll
be able to import data into them and use the data on a layout.
Also, where and how do I change the script to make this work?
The script editor is called ScriptMaker, and it's available from
the top item of the Scripts menu. Again, scripts, like fields, live in
a specific file, so be sure you are in the file you want to work on
before opening ScriptMaker. Import order is stored in a script. The
import order to import payment info from imppay0 to paymnts is stored
in a script in the paymnts file called Import from Imppay0. Perform
the import once manually, including the new fields you added. Then
open the script you want, close it again, and you'll be given a dialog
box which asks if you want to Keep the import order that is stored in
the script, or replace it with the one you just used.
That said, note that scripting is a pretty advanced technique.
All the buttons and procedures in ebase are driven by FileMaker
scripts (there are 350 or so in the names file alone). You can get in
a whole lotta trouble by changing scripts without knowing what other
effects it might have.
