Relookup Field Contents
Purpose
Copies new values from the lookup source field into the current found set.
Format
Relookup Field Contents [No dialog; <table::field>]
Options
• Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step
executes that lets the user confirm field information.
• Go to target field specifies the field that is the target of the relookup operation.
FileMaker
Pro moves the cursor to the field you specify. This must be the match field for the
relationship upon which the lookup is based, not the lookup source field or lookup target
field. If no field is selected, Relookup Field Contents returns an error code that can be
captured with the Get(LastError) function.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
• The target field specified for the Relookup Field Contents step must be an editable field.
• Relookups are only performed on the found set of records in the active table.
• Calculation fields cannot be used for the Relookup Field Contents command. If you use the
Relookup Field Contents command, and you're using a calculation field as the matching
value, you must specify one of the input fields for the calculation as the field parameter for
the Relookup Field Contents.
• When you use the Relookup Field Contents script step, the data must be committed first
before the operation is performed, or you may get unexpected results. See Committing data
in records.
