FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1005
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
If you try to paste data that doesn't match the field type of the target field, FileMaker Pro pastes the
data but displays a validation alert when you attempt to exit the field. If the field is not on the current
layout, FileMaker
Pro returns an error code which can be captured with the Get(LastError) function.
Note If you manually select field data before you run this script step in FileMaker WebDirect, the
script step performs as if you did not make a selection. To select field data before you run this script
step in FileMaker
WebDirect, use the Set Selection script step.
Example 1
Pastes the Clipboard contents into the active field.
Show Custom Dialog ["Do you want to paste the Clipboard contents?"]
If [Get ( LastMessageChoice ) = 1]
Paste [Select]
End If
