I'm trying to clean up a Filemaker Pro 5 script that I have with better
error checking. I need to check to make sure that cells are being filled
correctly. One cell is a popupmenu with data from a value list.
My script accidently filled in a value that was not in the list for
nearly 50 records. Oops. It was a typo I didn't catch. I realize that I
can lock the popupmenu so that only those choices defined in a value list
are used without having "Other..." or "Edit..." but I don't want to do
that. There are other times, when inputting data manually that I need the
"other" and "edit" options. Since the script runs without intervention, I
would like for it to halt if a value that is not in the value list is
passed. Is there any way my AppleScript can check the value against the
items in the value list? I can't find an example of extracting the items
in a value list so that I can compare the value the script is prepared to
input.
Thanks
