Repeats

Hi, I was wondering if I can put the repeating section on the same layout as the event details instead of a separate window.

All things are possible in FileMaker, but in addition to changing the scripts to support this you'll take on the responsibility for a bit more scripting:

- what do you do with the repeat options display if the event is already repeating?

- what if someone selects a couple items and the closes the window, do you perform the repeats or not?

- then someone could have two repeat selectors open at once and since they run on $$vars they'd both use the same repetition settings. You'd need to scope the $$vars to the window name.

All in all, not a trivial amount of work and I think it is more confusing in the same window, but your users may disagree.

Hope that helps,

John

Hi,

I most of the events will be repeating thats why. But i guess they will only be using that part once a month or so. So I will leave it.
