Tips and Tricks: Arbitrarily Navigating an Array of Fields in FMP 10

To follow up with the presentation from Tuesday night, here is the first of half a dozen or so posts going into more detail on my demo files.

First up, navigating an array of fields in an arbitrary order (as opposed to tab order).

First, a little setup. To make this work you need to give layout object names to all the fields in the array. I just chose array01, array02, etc. so we can do some simple math to find out which object to go to.

Be sure and name and or number all your layout objects.

When Filemaker allows us to go to field by name, this solution will be a little more elegant, for now you just need to name the layout objects and your field names can be arbitrary.
