I have a locking mechanism script. If a field is set to 1 (locked) then the
user can't change a field (closed status). The script works according to the
criteria the user gave me. The user now wants 11 other fields to be
non-modifiable if the lock field is locked.
To make it easier I decided to use the applescript script step. I noticed in
the Filemaker dictionary there is a property for field access which you can set
to "no". This is my FM script:
if [reconcile PO::closed status <> "closed"
beep
show message {error}
else
set field ["locked","case(locked,0,1)"]
*Perform applescript(set field "Qty Received" access no
end if
The perform applescript didn't work. It didn't like the way I changed the field
property "access". How should this be done?
I have another question. I would like to change the field access property on 11
fields total. Can I set all the fields to access no in the one perform
Applescript?
thanks.
