is there a code for buttons, for transfering text from several fields and putting them on another card.
i can do this for dropdown buttons, but not a straight out button
as i would like a one "enter" button that would transfer certain text from certain fields to one "say" invoice page ?
thanks

Hi smash, nice to see you again.
It should be simple enough with a regular button rather than a drop down.
on mouseUp should trigger the action you want when you click the button.
In the button script you would have something like
For anything more than a few simple lines to move then you make this more efficient and less to type/easier to update and maintain by doing more in the way of parsing the fields in a collection, but the above shows how simple it is to copy data from one place to another in a basic way.

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put field "field1" of this card into field "field1" of card "invoice"
put field "field2" of this card into field "field2" of card "invoice"
put field "field3" of this card into field "field3" of card "invoice"
put field "field4" of this card into field "field4" of card "invoice"
end mouseUp

now i have four woosies of questions
1)
i am using multible choice boxes, and after i have made upto 6 choices, i am trying to press one button to transfer the information across to 6 different cards.
this what i am trying to use, but it keeps tlling me it can not find the card
and
3) here is the woosie.
how do you put one entries information on 6 different card, so they all go into the correct slot at 50 minute intervels ???
and how do you connect the times to a card.
and

put "Entries" & menuPick into theCardName
if (field "BridleNumber" is not empty) and (field "HorsesName" is not empty) and (field "RidersName" is not empty) then
