I'm a new user to Filemaker. I have a donations database that has a Donor Table and a Donation Table. When I enter a new donation I'd like the programme to go to the current Donor record, get the ID field value and paste it into a new record in the Donation table.
I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can provide.
Thanks,
Fred

In most cases, I think you'll want to be entering the donation from the context of the donor's record. That is, you'll be "on" the donor record or will have "selected" the donor record (see my answer to your other post). The point here is that FileMaker needs some context in which to know which donor you intend to use for the donation. Once you have that context, you'd use it to record the donor's ID in the first SetVariable script step below. (This is just an example script showing how you might create a new donation in a new window from the donor's layout.)
