GEM IN THE ROUGH: A Reusable Notes Separator Script

The mark of a FileMaker power-scripter is someone always on the lookout for the opportunity to write one script that can be used in several places. After all, who wants to spend his life writing scripts? The fact is, you’re probably so happy with your new Notes field and its separator script that you want to use it in other places — on a Job, an Invoice, a Payment, and so forth.

It would be much nicer if the Add Note Separator script could add a note separator (and place the insertion point) in any field you wanted. That way you could tell people to click the field they want before running the script to get the separator entered into the field of their choice.

The only thing tying your script to the Customers::Notes field is the “Go to target field” checkbox on the Set Selection steps. If you edit the script and turn this option off for both Set Selection steps, then it works on whatever field is active when the script runs.

If you don’t like to have to click the field before running the script, then you can fix it in two ways, but both require information you haven’t learned yet. You’ll get there in Chapter 17.
