People,
I'm just written a very simple family ledger database using
Filemaker Pro 6 on my
MacBook.
I've put a summary field (total of the dollar amounts entered into
the ledger) into the
header, to display the sums of the transaction amounts of various
subsets of records I
search for. My idea was to copy and paste the sums into a
speadsheet, to keep track of
monthly totals, etc.
However, there seems to be no way in Browse Mode to copy/paste the
number displayed in
this summary field in the header of the layout I've created. I'd
rather not have to type this
number manually into the spreadsheet, since errors are likely to
result.
Is there any way to enable copying to the clipboard the contents of
such a summary field in
the header of a layout?
Create a separate layout that has nothing on it but a body part which
contains the summary field you want to copy.
Create a script that includes these steps:
Freeze Window
Go to Layout [new one]
Copy [summary field]
Go to Layout [original]
Attach that script to a button called "Copy" and placed right next to
the summary field on your main layout.
