Description

Pastes information from a field in the last active record into the specified field in the current record or find request. The active record is the last record where FileMaker Pro performed some activity, such as pasting text or moving into a field with the Go to Field script step. Use this script step to ensure consistency and automate data entry.

Note If the specified field does not exist on the layout where the script is being performed, Insert From Last Visited returns an error code which can be captured with the Get(LastError) function.

Enter Find Mode []
